Hey there Reader,
We’re switching things up from our usual Sizzle, Crunch, Scoop this week because there’s a lot happening at Cooking with Cat this fall — and as a newsletter subscriber, you get to hear about it first. 👀
I’ve been working behind the scenes on what’s next for Cooking with Cat, and I’m very excited to finally start sharing it with you.
Drumroll please...

In-Person Cooking Workshops Are Back! 👩🏼🍳
After taking a break over the summer, I’m so excited to get back into the teaching kitchen!
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be revealing one workshop series at a time — with returning favourites and some brand-new concepts I’ve been working on.
But for now, here's a sneak peak of what's coming:
❄️ Stock Your Freezer — Leave with 40+ servings of homemade meals and snacks — without having to worry about groceries or dishes — and make mealtimes easier for weeks to come.
🍝 From Scratch — Learn the techniques behind foods you usually buy, bring home what you’ve made for delicious, restaurant-quality meals later.
🌱 Plant-Based 101 — Learn how to make plant-based ingredients actually taste good, so you can enjoy more of their benefits without the overwhelm.
Before I dive into the details, I want to show you what makes a Cooking with Cat workshop a little different.
More Than a Cooking Class...
These aren’t sit-back-and-watch cooking demonstrations.
You’ll be cooking in a state-of-the-art teaching kitchen, with your own fully equipped workstation. Sessions are facilitated by a Registered Dietitian, demonstrating techniques, answering questions, sharing practical nutrition tips, and teaching you the little tricks that make cooking at home feel easier.
The goal is to help you:
Build confidence with ingredients and techniques you might not normally use
Learn practical skills that make everyday cooking easier
Discover new recipes and ideas you’re genuinely excited to make again
Ask questions and learn in a small, hands-on environment
And, just as importantly, have a really fun few hours in the kitchen
Plus, depending on your insurance plan, a portion of the workshop fee may be eligible for coverage under Registered Dietitian services.
And it only feels right to kick off the fall workshop season with the one so many of you asked me to bring back...
'STOCK YOUR FREEZER' SERIES
Cook once. Stock your freezer. Eat seriously well for weeks.
Instead of relying on highly processed shortcuts or scrambling to figure out dinner every nights, you’ll leave with 40+ servings of homemade meals and snacks made from whole foods
The best part?
No grocery shopping, dishes or cleanup afterwards. Our team takes care of it all.
Your $279 registration reserves one workstation for up to two people and comes out to only $7 per serving!!
Come solo and take home the full batch, OR
Bring a friend, partner, family member to cook alongside you and split everything you make.
Mark you calendar with these important dates and times:
🚨 Registration opens Saturday, October 3 at 11 AM
With only 10 workstations per session, spots are limited. Keep an eye on your inbox — I’ll be sending everything you need to register soon. 👀
I have a feeling this is going to be a very fun fall in the kitchen.
Hope to see you there!
