Chef Deanne

I had a vision in mind when creating this business; of young children being about to develop their skills and explore their creative abilities in an open environment.  

'I want to teach children the life-long skill of cooking and the joy of sharing a table of beautiful food and experiences'

I truly believe that cooking gives children many skills, confidence & happiness.  Children love to cook and the Port Phillip area hasn't provided kids with this outlet. My greatest wish has been to make this type of learning experience available and in doing so create happy children continuing to cook beyond my lessons.

“Teaching kids to cook can foster a healthy respect for food. It is empowering for a child to cook a meal with their own hands, becoming involved in nourishing their bodies from a young age.”
