Who we are:

Secret Ingredient YEG (SIYEG) is a social purpose small biz that offers Culinary Experiences that bring the flavours of the world to your kitchen. We deliver unique cooking classes and food experiences hosted by local women who are fantastic home cooks- sharing their culture with you through food.

Check us out at www.secretingredientyeg.com and follow us on Facebook & Instagram to learn more and find our about upcoming experiences.

What to expect:

Every session is uniquely curated with the various instructors, and therefore will always be a little bit different. You can be sure that every session will include hands on cooking instruction, eating and connecting with others- all of the ingredients for a good time! Check out our menu for the class below. We always have special *surprise* add-on's from the instructor, so don't miss out on trying all of our great menu items and more!

SIYEG is more than a cooking class; it’s community building, empowering local talent, and of course.... amazing food!

Allergens in this class: gluten (bread), dairy, eggs, sesame (tahini), walnuts, pine nuts, meat products (beef & chicken). Although we can make some accomodations depending on the menu, we cannot always facilitate this, and are not working in a gluten free/safe kitchen. If you have severe food allergies or sensitivites, please reach out to us before purchasing tickets to see if we are able to make accomodations.
