Chef Frankie is back from her travels in the USA armed with skills in making authentic Mexican tamales. This is your chance to learn too!

Join Frankie for an afternoon of tamale making. Learn about Mexican mole sauces, and enjoy your tamales with a mole negro and a sala verde.

This is your chance to learn an aspect of Mexican cooking that is rarely available in Australia. Thanks to Frankie, it's not 'our loss' anymore!

Bliss in a bowl. That's how we describe the latest discoveries and creations in bowl food--poke and the Buddha bowl. 

Poke is Hawai`ian for sashimi and vegetable goodness in a bowl, Buddha is so named because the bowl is so packed full that it has a rounded belly. Both are delicious and HEALTHY additions to contemporary Australian cuisine. 

How about sashimi tuna, avocado and matcha-ginger dressing poke bowl? Or, Buddha bowls with freekah, cashew, broccoli and a yoghurt dressing, or Chinese roast duck with brown rice and cucumber. Sounds good? It is!

Vegetarians and pescatarians are welcome in this class and will be very well catered to with alternative proteins. Don't miss this exciting and new celebration of the healthy bowl! 

This is an afternoon for realising those baking dreams.

Make a multi-tiered sponge gateaux filled with creamy deliciousness and decorated to naked perfection.

Learn simple yet highly effective techniques in cake decoration using fruit, flowers and sweets. Take home your gorgeous masterpiece for all to admire (and eat!).

A class for lovers of baking and cake! 

Thai cooking is all about the harmony of elements: the saltiness from fish sauce, the sweetness from sugars and the sourness from citrus and tamarind. The craft is to blend these elements in such a way that none predominate. Instead you achieve the sublime taste profile that is Thai cuisine.

In this class you learn how to craft your elements through making three favourite Thai dishes—a yellow curry packed with healthy fresh turmeric, a larb, and a pad Thai. 

The class can be made suitable for pescatarians and, with a big of twanging, vegetarians and vegans so, all welcome to this Thai feast. A meal you will be proud of and remember!
