THE CULINARY STUDIO IN COLLABORATION WITH DEPTH TRAINING & PHYSIOTHERAPY.
You're putting in the work at Depth. Now let's make the kitchen match.
You know what to eat. But knowing and doing are different things. These 10 on-demand classes give you the skills to cook real food.
Depth takes care of the training. Your nutrition coach takes care of the plan. But there's a gap nobody talks about: the part where you actually have to cook. That's where we, Jody and Kirstie come in.
The Culinary Studio teaches the skills behind the food - not just recipes, but the techniques that make healthy eating sustainable and part of your lifestyle.
Class List
-
Miso-glazed salmon bowls
Learn MoreEverything your body needs after your trainer put you through the paces, in one bowl: miso-glazed salmon, roasted sweet potatoes, marinated edamame, crunchy cucumbers, and a creamy gochujang drizzle. Add your favourite grain and meal prep just got a whole lot more exciting.
-
Sheet pan chicken & broccoli
One class, two wins: a bright, crunchy three-bean salad with tangy celery vinaigrette that preps ahead for the week, and a juicy sheet pan chicken and broccoli with creamy dill yogurt sauce that's on the table before your workout playlist ends.
-
Spice-roasted fish tacos
Crispy spice-roasted white fish, fresh cucumber salsa, and limey shredded cabbage wrapped in corn tortillas, because healthy eating should never be boring. Easy to make, loaded with texture, and way more satisfying than your average Taco Tuesday.
-
Chicken, almond & broccoli salad
Poached chicken, roasted almonds, and crisp-tender broccoli in a zesty protein-packed dressing that puts sad salads out of business for good. Fresh, hearty, and built to power you through your day or your next workout.
-
Cooking grains & staples
Master the foolproof method for cooking quinoa, brown rice, and lentils so you always have a healthy base ready to go in your fridge. Mix, match, and build better meals all week long.
-
African-spiced black-eyed peas
Creamy black-eyed peas, tender kale, and bold African-inspired spices come together in one pot for a vegan meal that's as nourishing as it is flavourful. Pantry staples never tasted this good.
-
Shakshuka
Eggs poached in a smoky, spiced tomato and pepper sauce, scooped up with crusty bread or a side of grains, this is the hearty, protein-rich breakfast or brunch you'll want on repeat. Vegetarian, nourishing, and on the table any time of day.
-
White chicken chili
Tender poached chicken, white beans, hearty hominy, and a creamy, perfectly spiced broth in one pot that's built for batch cooking and the whole family. Chilly night comfort food that actually fuels you.
-
Healthy snacking staples
Five-minute poached shrimp, creamy homemade hummus, overnight tofu that actually tastes great, and more, because snacks should fuel you, not bore you. Easy, protein-packed, and ready when you need them.
-
Steak & chimichurri
A tender, flavourful steak, fresh zesty chimichurri, and golden crispy roasted cauliflower that gets there through smart technique alone, no breading, no frying. Simple ingredients, big flavour, and exactly the kind of meal that makes eating for your goals feel less like a compromise.

At DEPTH, we work hard to help our members train with purpose, recover intelligently, and perform at their highest level. We have found that one of the biggest missing pieces for many people isn’t found in the gym, it’s found in the kitchen.
You can train hard every day, but if you’re not fueling your body appropriately, your energy, recovery, and overall performance will suffer.
That’s why we’re excited about what the team at The Culinary Studio is doing. Their online cooking classes go beyond recipes and diet trends, they teach real-life cooking skills that help people prepare nutritious meals with confidence and consistency.
The better our members understand what they’re eating and how they’re cooking, the more they can maximize the work they’re already putting in at DEPTH. Proper nutrition isn’t separate from performance, it’s foundational to it.
