Brisbane's Best Cooking Classes

Editorial

Blessed with outsize Asian ingredients, indigenous edibles and gardens that grow herbs in the time it takes to shout the word “aromatic”, Brisbane is a cook’s haven. From Sunnybank to the Valley, the portable South East Asia is available to the home cook. Right around the city, specialty items beg to be taken to a willing pot.

But, what to do with all this bounty? First, stop, our mate Sally.

Sally Lynch is the proprietress and principal teacher at Taste Trekkers. Phone 0408 321 822 for a hands-on tutorial in shopping, supping and creating spectacular snacks from South East Asia.

In West End, Mondo Organic runs a broad specialty range of classes that range from the rich rustication of Provencale cooking to gluten and dairy free delights. Phone 07 3844 1132 for details and bookings.

For a brush-up on the basics, the James Street Cooking School in the Valley is the place. Phone 07 3252 8850 to roux and quenelle your way to kitchen dignity.

For Thai, try the tang of Mons Ban Sabai Thai Cooking School at Camp Hill. Phone 07 3843 5366 with your enquiries.

And, when you’ve mastered everything from bouillabaisse to Mee Grob, don’t be backward in forwarding us an invitation to dine.
