The Cooking Professor
Chef: Riki Kaspi | A$95 per child | January 20 | 10am-12pm
The Cooking Professor delivers hands‑on cooking classes and culinary workshops designed for home cooks, families, and food lovers. Featured on The Adventure Collective, the business offers a wide range of experiences that span global cuisines — from Japanese ramen and sushi to Moroccan street food, Italian pasta and gnocchi, Spanish paella and churros, and a variety of baking and cheese‑making workshops.
Classes are structured for different age groups and formats: adult workshops (often noted as suitable for ages 14 and up), parent & child sessions for younger learners (examples include ages 4–14 and 8–16), junior kids’ programs, and long table dinner events. Many workshops are chef‑led and hands‑on; for example, the French patisserie class highlights Chef Kym Chambers as an instructor for choux pastry.
Offerings include technical skill sessions—such as beginners knife skills, sourdough baking, cheese making (mozzarella and burrata), and sausage workshops—alongside cuisine‑specific cooking classes for Thai, Korean, Filipino, Chinese dumplings, Indian banquet classics, and more. Events also feature communal dining experiences with live music or themed entertainment for longer evening events.
The Cooking Professor emphasizes practical learning, shared meals, and accessible recipes so participants can replicate techniques at home. Each class lists age suitability and detailed menus, making it straightforward to choose the right experience for families, teens, or adult learners.
