Chef Jacqui's French Cooking Classes

Hello, I am a classically French trained chef and I teach people to cook the recipes I love to cook, to enjoy the process and not to panic in the kitchen.
My experience as a chef working in some of the Melbourne and Europe's best professional kitchens under the most talented, passionate and humble chefs has made me the chef I am and allows me to help you become a better and more confident cook. The food I love to cook is French cuisine with a modern influence, elegant Italian cookery and Australian cuisine, introducing native ingredients. Seasonal, sustainable and fresh ingredients is an absolute must in my kitchen, which my kitchen garden plays a huge role in as does my local Mornington Peninsula suppliers and producers. We have a few precious things in our life that give us pleasure and enjoyment and cooking and eating food does just that. This is why I invite you to cook with me in my kitchen and to enjoy a magnificent 3 course meal at my table.
Book your experience,
Chef Jacqui



You will be warmly greeted as you pull up in my driveway by Sophie, my beautiful golden retriever who will lovingly escort you to the front door where delicious aromas are emanating from my kitchen. The open plan setting, beautifully set dining table and kitchen laden with fresh produce is ready.
Canapes and refreshments are served to you as you don your aprons and take your place in my kitchen. Here we read through our menu and recipes and begin our preparation and cooking. During this time I will teach you tips and tricks of the trade. You will gain knowledge using and storing ingredients and equipment, knife skills, pan frying techniques and food styling among many other tips.
As we finish each course we adjourn to the table to eat and discuss the balance of flavours and textures. We are constantly eating all day. You can ask as many questions as you like and take as many photos as you like and like so may before, you will vow to return for next seasons menu and to bring others you know who will love this experience too.
