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.

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.

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.

George's Midweek Dinner Upgrade with Le Gruyère AOP
Join author, home cook and midweek dinner hero George Georgievski for a hands-on cooking class that’ll change the way you think about weeknight meals.
Discover how Le Gruyère AOP, the iconic Swiss cheese with its rich, nutty depth, can transform simple ingredients into something truly special. George’s philosophy is simple: cook smart, waste nothing, and make every meal one the family actually looks forward to.
On the menu? A gorgeous pan-seared chicken with a silky Le Gruyère and thyme cream sauce, served over gnocchi, then watch the magic happen as those same ingredients get a delicious second life as golden, crispy gnocchi pierogies.
Two recipes. One class. Zero leftovers going to waste.
Everyone in the class gets to taste what they’ve made, and take home whatever’s left, because the only thing better than cooking a great meal is getting to enjoy it twice.
Spots are extremely limited so act quick and grab yours before they’re gone.
