About Cookery

• Cookery is a specialty kitchenware store & cooking class studio focusing on the needs of passionate home cooks in urban ‘boutique’ neighbourhoods. Their first location opened in Toronto's Roncesvalles neighbourhood in August 2014. Their second location, in North Toronto near Yonge & Eglinton, opened in October 2017. Their Bloor West Village shop opened amid a pandemic in September 2020, soon followed by their Westmount shop in Montreal in November of 2020. The latest store in the Leslieville area of Toronto opened in June of 2022.
• Cookery has a beautiful collection of both heirloom and everyday cookware, kitchen tools, bakeware, barware, dinnerware, serving ware, and cookbooks. They cater personally to home cooks and cooking- inspired gift givers in their neighbourhoods, and online across Canada.
• Their range of products offers high performance and enduring quality, as well as a focus on sustainable materials, local design and/or manufacturing. They strive to provide function, beauty, and inspiration to their customers’ kitchens, while also ensuring value for money in an economically tight time.
• All of their cooking classes take place right in the stores 'when life is normal'. Cookery’s inhouse chefs build full 3-4 course menus with sommelier paired wines that make the perfect date night or ladies’ night out for foodies. During Covid-19, they introduced live, online, interactive classes done from home.
• Cookery believes strongly in being truly involved in their local communities and building strong personal connections with their local customers. Store colleagues know, and live in their shop neighbourhoods, and truly understand and love cooking; many are fully trained chefs themselves. Having small local community shops allows Cookery to offer a well curated collection and deliver unparalleled personal customer service.
• Cookery focuses on this same type of commitment with its colleagues, offering room and opportunity for personal growth, and ensuring all full-time associates have access to health and dental benefits and, more importantly, a living wage in the communities they serve.
