**Our Chefs can accommodate menu items to be gluten free for ​“most” of our menus, but we do need to state clearly for Celiacs that flour is used throughout our space and during our cooking classes and we cannot guarantee there will be no cross contamination, especially regarding airborne concerns. If this is a concern, please contact Justin at events@​growingchefsontario.​ca prior to booking this class, as we may not be able to accommodate.** 

Masking and Vaccination: Growing Chefs! continues to work closely with Public Health as we continue to transition away from COVID-19 related health and safety protocols for our programming and events. We strongly recommend vaccinations and masking as tools to minimize the spread of COVID-19, but will not be continuing to require masks be worn in our facilities.

These classes are extremely popular and fill quickly, and we will open your spot to our waiting list.
