Forget Mother's Day Lunch and Book a Cooking Class Together

Most people celebrate Mother’s Day with a card, flowers, and of course, a classic Mother’s Day lunch. Why break out of the mould and try something new in 2024! Book a gift experience for Mum that the whole family can take part in – a Mother’s Day cooking class! While Mum will be sure to appreciate any efforts to spoil her, there's nothing she'll love more than spending some quality time with you!

Surprise your mum this year and take part in a cooking class you can all enjoy together. With thousands of classes to choose from, you won’t be stuck for ideas. With a cooking class, it could ignite a new hobby for the whole family, and you could cook together back home more often. While many families struggle with finding the time to cook from scratch, you could easily work together and learn loads of fabulous new recipes which will help everyone feel more confident when it comes to cooking at home. 

Instead of Mum spending time in the kitchen on her own, spend more time together as a family and enjoy cooking together. Whilst you might be looking for Mother’s Day gifts, you probably have no idea the benefits of taking part in a cooking class together. The family could enjoy it so much, you could find a new tradition and even start going to a monthly cooking class together for example. 

Instead of going out for Mother’s Day lunch this year, here are some of the best Mother’s Day Australia cooking classes from around the world!
