Our Programs
Choose based on where you are now, not where you think you should be.
Each program is designed around a specific transformation. They're not sequential, you don't need to start with the first one. Pick the one that addresses what you're struggling with right now.
Kitchen Foundations
6 weeks | Tuesday evenings | Small group format
This is where most people should start if they've never had formal instruction. Six weeks focused on the core techniques that appear in nearly every recipe: knife skills, heat management, seasoning, building flavors.
You'll learn the fifteen fundamental techniques that cover approximately 80% of home cooking. By week three, most students stop needing to follow recipes step-by-step. By week six, they're improvising confidently.
What You'll Master:
- Knife work that's fast and safe
- Understanding heat levels and when to use each
- Building flavor through layering
- Basic sauce fundamentals
- Cooking proteins consistently
- Vegetable techniques for better texture
Perfect for:
Complete beginners, or anyone who's been cooking for years but still feels uncertain. If you follow recipes exactly and panic when something goes off-script, this builds the foundation you're missing.
$347 AUD
