A round roofed stone building on Lake Alexandrina, a town that would not let it go, and everything you need for a weekend in Milang, whether or not you cook with us.

Two nights, three days and our own home patch of the Fleurieu coast: a boat on the water, sunset on the sand, pasta at the bench in Yankalilla and a quiet walk under the stringybarks before you head home.

A small family cooking school from the Fleurieu Peninsula, back in the running at the SA Tourism Awards, and the spring weekend that goes with it.
