About this tour

You'll prepare and cook a three-course meal from scratch—canapés through to dessert—then sit down to eat what you've made together. Jacqui draws on years working in top European and Australian kitchens, teaching you her approach to confident, seasonal cooking using produce from her garden and local Mornington Peninsula suppliers.

What to expect
You'll arrive and roll up your sleeves straightaway. Jacqui walks you through each dish step-by-step—no lecture, just practical guidance as you chop, taste and adjust. You're not watching; you're doing. The class flows at a natural pace, with lighter tasks alongside the more technical ones so you're never overwhelmed. Midway through, you'll taste and refine your work. Once everything's ready, you all sit down together to eat the meal you've prepared, sharing it at her table with wine and reflection on what you've learned.
Good to know
