Driven by a 20-year passion for the art of home baking, Hankerie is more than just a cooking school—it is a legacy built on the belief that anyone can create professional-grade food in their own kitchen. Founded by a dedicated food blogger and award-winning baker, we specialise in teaching the delicate balance of sourdough, cookies, and cakes to those who, like us, balance a busy 9-to-5 career with a love for artisanal food.

Our journey is rooted in deep expertise. Our founder’s culinary credentials include being the 1st Runner Up in the ASEAN Food Channel Cook-Off and being featured on national Malaysian TV (NTV7) for her creative mastery of decorated Swiss Rolls. At the heart of our bread-making classes is a 15-year-old sourdough starter, a living piece of culinary culture that has been nurtured daily for over a decade.

At Hankerie, we understand that your time is your most precious ingredient. Because our founder also manages a corporate 9-to-5, our curriculum is specifically designed for the "working baker." We don't just teach recipes; we teach lifestyle integration. We break down complex sourdough fermentation, the science of the perfect cookie, and the aesthetics of cake decoration into manageable, stress-free steps that fit into your work week.

Whether you are looking to master the deep satisfaction of a crusty sourdough loaf or want to recreate the award-winning techniques seen on TV, our Sydney-based classes provide the core skills and confidence to bake for your loved ones. Join us to discover how 20 years of blogging, competing, and nurturing a culture can be distilled into a single, joyful afternoon of learning.
