SESSIONS​

Create your own Chocolate with Kirsten Tibballs​

Step into the decadent world of the “Queen of Chocolate” herself, Kirsten Tibballs.

In this intimate, hands-on session, Kirsten will guide you through the art of tempering chocolate before you create your own chocolate bark from scratch. You will take home a bag of rich dark chocolate and classic milk chocolate, then customise your creation with beautiful toppings to make it your own.

Best of all, you’ll leave with your handcrafted chocolate bark ready to take home and enjoy.

This is the first time Kirsten is bringing her exclusive workshops outside her Brunswick studio, where spots are notoriously hard to come by. Be part of this intimate session, working side by side with Kirsten and learning from one of the world’s best patisserie chefs. Spaces are expected to sell out, so be quick to avoid disappointment.

Brendan Pang's Wonton Workshop: Red Curry Edition​

Ready to level up your dumpling game? Brendan Pang is bringing his signature wonton-making skills to the Cooking School, showing you how to fold, flavour, and build a red curry broth that hits every note.

In this hands-on session, you will learn how to make and shape juicy chicken wontons from scratch, guided by Brendan’s signature technique inspired by years spent cooking alongside his grandma. You’ll also make a fragrant Thai-style red curry broth that is creamy, lightly spiced, and layered with aromatics.

This is one of those dishes that looks seriously impressive but is totally doable at home. Brendan will share his go-to tips, clever shortcuts, and flavour tricks that make all the difference.

With limited spots available, this up-close cooking experience is sure to sell out fast. Grab your tickets now!
