I don’t know the exact date, but if I had to guess I’d say this story takes place about ten years ago. I was sitting on a bench at the gym, taking a quick break from my work out, when an old friend approached me to chat. I had known Michelle my whole life, in…

Anyone living with a chronic illness knows there are good days and there are bad days. Over these last few years I have enjoyed many good months with a few bad days sprinkled in, just to keep things interesting. Right now, I’m having a few bad days. Last week my son Jonah was home with…

We recently attended a cooking class with Jordan for my husbands birthday. Our group included both novice and advanced cooks and everyone came away from the night having learned some cooking pearls. The food was delicious and the experience amazing. Thanks Jordan!

I liked Jordan’s cooking class because it was fun and I helped to cook the food - and even if I didn’t get to cook it, I still got to eat it all! My favourite dish was the gnocchi because it tasted so good even though it was made from simple ingredients.

We can’t thank you enough for the meal that you provided this past Monday. You are a very special person and it was a pleasure meeting the rest of your family. Tamar and your son Jonah were very helpful. Hopefully you will be willing to help us again in the future.

Jordan & Rebecca, Thank you so much for everything you did to make our night out so extra special! Everything about this night was extraordinary from the laid back airy atmosphere, the intimate learning from Chef Jordan, to the mind blowing tasty concoctions accompanied by laughter and good friends. I knew it was going to be good, but I didn’t know it was going to be that good! You two make one dynamic team. Thank you again. With great appreciation and love,

The first thing that stood out about Chef Jordan Wagman when I first met him was his friendly and open personality. ... Once he started his cooking class, my teammates and I were all enraptured. He spoke so passionately not only about food but about everything around the food. Whether it be emphasizing the simplicity of his recipes to wonderful anecdotes about his life and the importance of family. We were drawn to the warmth, sincerity, and generousness of his time and knowledge. He left us inspired and wanting more.
