Escape the Melbourne winter with a cosy Danish Christmas Lunch Cooking Experience, where you'll bake traditional rye bread, prepare three classic Smørrebrød (open-faced) sandwiches, and finish with the beloved dessert, Risalamande. You'll enjoy a warming cup of non-alcoholic Gløgg on arrival and leave with your own mini rye loaf, recipes, and the confidence to recreate a Scandinavian feast at home. Only 1 session is available this winter!
We will make:
  • Danish dark rye bread
  • Homemade Danish remoulade
  • Chicken curry smørrebrød
  • Prawn smørrebrød
  • Classic potato smørrebrød
  • Decadent Risalamande with warm cherry sauce
  • Traditional non-alcoholic Danish Gløgg
After cooking, we'll gather around the table to 'hygge' together, just as it's enjoyed in Denmark. You'll head home feeling inspired, with new cooking skills, authentic recipes, and your own freshly baked mini rye bread to enjoy.
Your teacher is a food educator who studied public health nutrition in Denmark and was immersed in the local food scene for 9 years. Through food, stories, and shared meals, you'll gain insight into the Scandinavian food culture and customs.
Whether you're looking for unique things to do in Melbourne, planning a catch-up with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply love discovering new cuisines, this hands-on cooking class is a delicious way to spend a winter's day.

I’m a Public Health Nutritionist, cooking instructor, and lifelong learner who believes food is more than fuel!
My relationship with food began in Bulgaria, growing up as a fussy eater, disliking most home-cooked food. But everything changed in my early 20s, after going through a health scare. The experience sparked a deep interest in preventative health and led me to study Public Health Nutrition in Denmark. During this time, I taught myself to cook, bake, and ferment.
While writing my Master’s thesis, I moved to Melbourne and fell headfirst into its vibrant food scene. The diversity of ingredients, flavours, and cuisines was transformative. I discovered a passion for teaching while managing the production kitchen at SisterWorks. There, I led healthy cooking classes for women from around the world and saw firsthand how food could be a bridge: building confidence, sharing culture, and creating community. Since then, I’ve run community workshops, worked in commercial kitchens, and continued to explore how food can nourish both people and planet.
My teaching style is grounded in simplicity, sustainability, and joy. I share practical nutrition tips, tricks from professional kitchens, and celebrate seasonal, local produce with minimal waste.
Whether I’m leading a class or chatting over a shared meal, I love that moment when something clicks — when someone realises that healthy, delicious food doesn’t have to be complicated.
