Quirky Cooking Workshop & Lunch, Toowoomba

Come and cook with me, then sit down together to enjoy a beautiful, nourishing lunch!

Date: Monday 20th April

Time: 10am - 2pm

Venue: Relish Cafe, Highfields

In this hands-on class, you’ll learn new skills while having fun creating real-food dishes from scratch. Build your confidence with practical techniques like portioning a raw chicken, basic cheese-making skills, grain-free pastry, a creative probiotic salad, delicious chicken pot pies, and a decadent (but gut-friendly) dessert. You'll definitely want to recreate these dishes at home!

We’ll cook side by side and you'll be able to ask questions as we go, learning skills by doing, and then enjoying the results together.

Experience cooking multiple dishes at the same time, just like real life - with my support and guidance. You'll also learn to adjust recipes to use what you have or cater for special diets. 

This is a learn-by-doing experience: ask questions, try new cooking techniques, discover gut-healthy recipes your family will love, and enjoy connecting with a group of like-minded people as we finish by sharing a delicious meal together.
