Ready to do some culinary magic? In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to transform solid butter into a golden, aromatic liquid and plain milk into a creamy dip or solid cheese. That’s kitchen alchemy at its best!
If you’ve ever been curious about the health benefits of ghee (clarified butter) celebrated in Ayurvedic tradition, or fallen in love with its sweet, nutty richness in Indian curries, this class is for you. Ghee may cost a small fortune in the shops, but you’ll discover how simple and affordable it is to make your own at home.
And paneer? Sure, now you can buy it at the supermarket—but why, when it’s one of the easiest and most satisfying cheeses to make? It’s a perfect way to save milk before it goes off, plus it’s high in protein and endlessly versatile.
In this workshop, you’ll make and taste:
  • Homemade Ghee (take home your own jar)
  • Fresh Paneer with 3 flavouring variations
  • Paneer Masala Curry
  • Chapati flatbreads
Walk away with new kitchen skills, delicious food, and the confidence to turn everyday ingredients into something extraordinary.

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.
