§ 01 · About us

A delicious day out

We are Jackie and John. We run the cooking classes because we love to feed people and we love this region. Our classes happen in the working venues that make South Australia what it is. Cellar doors, distilleries, historic homesteads, and now Jackson Square in Adelaide. We work alongside the chefs and producers we have come to know over years of cooking here.

You will learn real skills, eat well, drink well, and leave knowing why this Peninsula matters. Beginner or confident cook, you will find your place at our bench.

§ 04 · What we teach

Our class menu

Six core class types running through the year, plus seasonal specials and guest chef events. All hands-on, all small groups, all designed for cooks of every level.

§ 05 · The Fleurieu experience

More than a class. A day to remember.

Our classes are designed as the centrepiece of a wider day on the Peninsula. Welcome drinks, a long lunch with wine, time to explore the venue and the region around it. Built sustainably, designed inclusively, in places worth the drive.

A day, not just a class

Most classes run two and a half hours and finish with a long lunch. Plan time around them. Visit a cellar door before. Stop at a jetty after. A class with us fits inside a day that becomes the highlight of your trip.
