What you'll do
Let’s be real—protein and fats get plenty of attention but can you make sense of it all? In this hands-on class, we’ll cut through the noise and bust a few nutrition myths. Your instructor Sonya will share her commercial kitchen experience, showing you how to batch-prep flavour-packed, protein-rich meals that come together in just 5–15 minutes of active cooking time.Drawing from her Master's degree in Public Health Nutrition, Sonya will walk you through what really matters: saturated vs. unsaturated fats, complete vs. incomplete proteins, and how your body actually uses them.This class features a fully plant-based menu but the nutrition discussion includes both animal and plant-based sources—so you’ll walk away with the tools to make balanced choices no matter how you eat. You'll also get to taste-test different oils and learn how to cook with them confidently.You’ll cook and eat:
- Veggie sticks with spicy tofu satay dip
- Wombok San Choy Bao with tofu, quinoa & satay dressing
- Tofu, mushroom and wombok stir-fry with tofu skin noodles
- Silken tofu and quinoa choc porridge
- Smart, flexible batch-prepping strategies for faster weekday cooking
- How to choose and use different oils, fats, and protein sources
- Nuanced nutrition info without the diet-culture dogma
- Commercial kitchen techniques and tricks to streamline your cooking
- "Home cooking, no fuss. I feel I can use ingredients that aren’t common to me eg. filo pastry, with some confidence."
- "Interactive and informal. A lot of fun. Great tutor"

Your teacher
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.
