Meet Anna.

Anna came to Canada from Ukraine with her family after the war, bringing a deep love for cooking and community. She and her son even run a local bakery.

Passionate and full of energy, Anna guides you step by step through traditional dishes, adds her own modern twists and makes sure everyone feels welcome.

You won’t just learn to cook. You’ll laugh, connect and leave with recipes to make at home.
