Social Cooking Experience: Yes Chef

A social cook-up in a real commercial kitchen



4 hours Experience size 1 to 14 guests

  $59 - $79 (Earlybird price of $64 applies if you book into a public session 30+ days ahead, otherwise $79 per guest when you book for 1+ guests, $59/guest for 3+ guests) (Afterpay available)

Fifteen foodies will take over a real commercial kitchen in Surry Hills to cook a feast together. You'll be assigned a station, given your ingredients and let loose. Your head chef will walk around tasting your work and promoting you through the ranks for good work. Break the rules and you'll be sent to the dish pit.
Part cooking class, part free-for-all, you'll leave with a full belly and much more confidence in the kitchen.
Dress in white, bring an apron and join us for some chaotic fun in Surry Hills, just five minutes from Central. All cooking experience levels are welcome.
Note: Yes Chef is a community event. Your ticket price goes entirely towards the venue and food we'll cook and eat. Parts of the event will be filmed, and you'll get access to the photos/videos after the event. We'll try our best to cater to dietary requirements, but can't guarantee the kitchen will be free of allergens. By attending you accept responsibility for your own health and safety.
What you'll get
A fun cooking experience, a big meal and a lot of new cooking skills.
Knowledge required
All levels welcome.

Recent reviews of Social Cooking Experience: Yes Chef

  • 5/5 from Shavin Wijeyaratne, attended May 2026: I had a great time cooking Sri Lankan food with the Yes Chef group and our brilliant host Nathan. The atmosphere was fun, supportive and educational with a delicious meal at the end!
  • 5/5 from Shishir. N., attended Mar 2026: The occasion was a hands-on cooking class, and it turned out to be an incredibly memorable experience. Instead of strictly following recipes, we cooked intuitively, which made the whole process more creative and personal. We worked together as a team, sharing ideas, tasting as we went, and learning from each other along the way. The host, the chefs, was absolutely amazing—very engaging, encouraging, and full of energy. Nathan made everyone feel comfortable and confident, no matter their skill level, and guided us without being rigid. The atmosphere was warm, lively, and collaborative. It felt more like a gathering of friends than a formal class, with lots of laughter, conversation, and shared excitement. What I liked most was the freedom to cook without rules and the sense of connection it created—with the food, the people, and the moment.

For over a year I've been hosting a monthly cooking event where I choose a cuisine and get foodies to cook and eat a big meal together. Outside of my obsession for cooking, I run an app for creative writers called Werdsmith.
