Work With Jordan
The JW Experience
‘Cooking is not about following recipes, it is about buying amazing, seasonal ingredients and applying simple techniques to maximize their yield and flavour.’
Sit around the island and learn a step-by-step approach to creating incredible food for you and your family. With a focus on seasonality and cooking techniques, Jordan takes the magic out of creating quick and healthy foodstuff.
Join Jordan with a group of your friends, family, colleagues or all on your own in a private, professional setting and watch as your favorite foods are created before your eyes. You will learn simple tips and tricks to creating restaurant-quality meals, using minimal ingredients and effort.
Great ingredients do not always have to cost more; Jordan prides himself on creating relationships with the people who grow, raise or catch his foodstuff. When you know the people directly responsible for your food, you feel more confident about their quality.
With appetizers served upon your arrival and the service provided during your stay, this will be unlike any ‘cooking class’ you have experienced.
The JW Gathering
Often Jordan is asked to name his favorite Toronto Restaurant, the answer is the same each time; his home.
Bring your friends, family and colleagues and enjoy a unique chef’s table experience. Guests are made to feel at home upon arrival with the smell of food on the stove and appetizers in hand. Sit around the huge island and watch as the chef prepares multiple seasonal courses designed around your food preferences and dietary restrictions; right in front of your eyes.
Guests are encouraged to stay and take advantage of what is essentially their own private restaurant; they are the only reservation for the evening in this restaurant.
Two things are for certain; when you dine with Chef Jordan you will leave full and you won’t want to leave.

Cannabis Infused
Jordan’s approach to the use of cannabis in food is primarily for health and wellness. Although he sees value in the recreational use of THC, the plant offers other benefits, specifically lowering inflammation. For years Jordan has used both THC and CBD to treat the chronic symptoms of his Psoriasis and has created unique cannabis infused recipes which he shares with guests in the comfort of his kitchen.
Jordan has redefined cannabis infused food and his food and dinners are becoming legendary.
Chef Jordan applies the same seasonal approach to creating food with the addition of one incredible ingredient, cannabis.
Guests are treated to a masterfully designed 12-16 course, chef’s table experience. Each small plate is gluten, dairy and refined sugar-free and incorporates 2-5 mg of either CBD or THC.
The Test Kitchen extends to the cannabis space as well. Chef Jordan lends his culinary expertise to licensed producers, contract manufacturers, co-packers, restauranteurs or people in the conceptual stages of business development.
