    Great venue Great presenter Beautiful food . We are now much more confident at using bush food in our dishes! We only needed to take ourselves. Thank you for a most enjoyable afternoon. A glass of wine and no cleaning up!

    The overall experience was great! The teachers were very helpful and informative. The recipe was really innovative and made great use of Australian native ingredients. I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back!

    Wen-Chen Xia - Feb 2022

    Fresh damper with a cream/goat cheese and native pesto dip, kingfish marinated in native herbs and spices and tender kangaroo loin with assorted veggies, very appetising and delicious. You'sre in for a treat!

    The class was amazing, everything that we cooked was super tasty and we learnt a lot of new ingredients. Our Chef knew a lot of the Australian ingredients and he was very friendly recommending where to get those ingredients. I will recommend this class to my friends, it was fun!
