Cooking Schools

Once you’ve tasted the fresh Queensland seafood and tropical fruits, you’ll want to recreate the experience so that you can bring a piece of Australia back with you.

Queensland has many award winning chefs who enjoy sharing their skills and knowledge at cooking classes around the state.

Starting in the capital city, Brisbane, take a class with chefs at Black Pearl Epicure. Discover vegetarian cooking from the experts at Mondo Organics, or be inspired by the produce and skills on show at James St Cooking School.

Why not combine your beach stay with a cooking class on the Sunshine Coast? The sub-tropical climate here provides ideal growing conditions for produce ranging from pineapples to figs, lychees, Asian greens and ginger. Thai cooking classes offered by Paul Blain at The Tamarind in Maleny and The Spirit House Restaurant & Cooking School at Yandina are extremely popular.

If you’d like to try a taste of home with a Queensland twist, the Sunshine Coast's Amytis Gardens Retreat and Spa offers delicious chocolate classes or European style cooking classes.

Further north in Kingaroy you can continue to master Asian cuisine with Burning Beats Café's classes teaching how to chop, slice and dice your way to success with Thai, Indian and Vietnamese style cooking.

Head south to the Gold Coast in the Tamborine Mountain hinterland where Witches Chase Cheese Company will teach you how to make your favourite cheeses.
