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.
Miguel's Spanish Tapas à la Maestre
Join chef, TV personality and Spanish cooking force-of-nature Miguel Maestre for forty-five full-volume minutes in the Cooking School that’ll have you rethinking what tapas night can really be.
Discover how RUBIA, the bright, golden Spanish lager with its crisp finish and easy-drinking character, can turn humble ingredients into something worth shouting about. Miguel’s philosophy is simple: cook loud, eat generously, and never let a good chorizo go unsung.
On the menu? Free-range chorizo a la cerveza RUBIA with pickled cebolletas, golden tortilla de patatas chips with proper garlicky aioli, and a burnished Basque cheesecake served with Mignums ice cream that just might steal the show.
Three tapas. One Miguel Maestre. Zero quiet moments.
Everyone in the class gets to taste what they’ve made and take home whatever’s left.
Spots are extremely limited so act quick and grab yours before they’re gone.
