Fire and Feast: Summer Harvest
Join us around the fire as we celebrate the peak of Ontario’s growing season. This hands-on outdoor cooking experience showcases the incredible ingredients being harvested from local farms, our gardens, and our favourite local producers at the height of summer.
Together we’ll stretch dough, build wood-fired pizzas, prepare vibrant seasonal salads, and create rustic desserts kissed by flame. Every menu is guided by what is freshest and most beautiful that week, featuring local vegetables, berries, herbs, cheeses, and other harvest treasures sourced from Southwestern Ontario. Because we cook with the seasons, each class is unique, but always rooted in local food, community, and the magic of cooking over fire.
Spots are limited to 24 guests at the special Londonlicious price of $85 per person — don’t miss out on this limited opportunity to see what Growing Chefs! Ontario does!!
