We Cooked Up Some Romance at a Cooking Class…
I had just moved to Ottawa and was excited to explore the culinary scene. So, I decided to sign up for an Italian cooking class at a local community center. However, when I got there, I realized that everyone else in the class was already married or in a relationship. Feeling a bit out of place, I almost chickened out but finally, I took my seat and waited for the class to begin.
Just as the class was about to start, a young man named Mike walked in. Apparently, he too was single and had recently moved to the city. He was also an avid cook and was eager to learn more about Italian cuisine. When he saw me sitting alone, he decided to take a chance and introduce himself.
"Hi, I'm Mike," he said with a smile.
"Hi, I'm Sarah," I replied, returning the smile.
As the class got underway, Mike and I found ourselves paired up to work on a pasta dish together. We quickly discovered that we had a lot in common and enjoyed each other's company. We chatted and laughed as we cooked, and before we knew it, the class was over.
As we walked out of the community center together, Mike asked me if I wanted to grab a cup of coffee. I agreed, and we headed to a nearby café. Over coffee, we talked about our shared love of cooking and our experiences in our new city. We also discovered that we both had a passion for travel and adventure.
By the time we finished our coffee, we knew that we had something special. We exchanged numbers and made plans to see each other again soon.
Over the next few weeks, we went on a few more dates, exploring the city's food scene and trying out new recipes at home. We also went on weekend trips, discovering new places and making memories together.
Eventually, Mike and I fell in love and became inseparable. We even started our own Italian cooking club, inviting other singles in the city to join us in our culinary adventures.
Years later, as we cooked together in our own kitchen, we reminisced about our first meeting at the Italian cooking class. We knew that we had found something special that day, and we were grateful for the chance encounter that had brought us together.

I went to one of those cooking classes once and it had the opposite effect. I went with my hubby and he spent the whole time hitting on the young French woman that was supposed to be teaching us to make coq au vin. I kicked him out of the house the very next day
Nancy Says:
I actually teach cooking classes and I don't know what it is about cooking together, but I see strangers meet at my classes and they become fast friends within an hour. I know that at least a few of my past students have gotten into long term relationships after meeting in a class. Maybe I should start doing singles cooking events... food for thought.
Simon Says:
You guys are so lucky. I have been going to cooking classes for years and every time I go it's full of couples who think they are smarter than the teacher or old women who are desperate to get out of the house. There has never been a single person worth even chatting with.
