Ready to create some kitchen magic? In this live, interactive online class, you’ll learn how to turn everyday ingredients into something extraordinary, right in your own kitchen.
Only two chances left this year to make your own golden ghee—it’s the perfect homemade Christmas gift!
We’ll transform:
  • Solid butter → golden, aromatic ghee
  • Plain milk → soft, handmade paneer
  • Solid curds → a rich, silky paneer masala curry
That’s real kitchen alchemy—simple steps, big results.
If you’ve ever wondered why ghee is so valued in Ayurvedic tradition or fallen in love with its sweet, nutty flavour in Indian cooking, this class is for you. Store-bought ghee can be pricey, but making your own is fast, affordable and deeply satisfying once you know what to look for.
Paneer too—yes, you can buy it anywhere now, but fresh paneer tastes worlds better and takes minutes to make. It’s high-protein, versatile, and the perfect way to save milk before it’s wasted.
What you’ll learn:
  • How to make clarified ghee with confidence (no guessing the colour or timing)
  • How to make fresh paneer from scratch
  • Three simple flavour variations dips
  • How to turn your solid paneer into a decadent paneer masala curry
What you’ll get:
  • A shopping list emailed before the class
  • Live, interactive teaching — ask questions as we go
  • See techniques up close (way better than YouTube)
  • A detailed recipe and info booklet emailed to you
  • The confidence to recreate everything on your own
Why this class works:
Clear steps. Live guidance. Everyday ingredients. You’ll walk away knowing exactly how to make ghee and paneer anytime — no special equipment, no stress, and no more overpriced jars from the shops.
Knowledge required
Beginner-friendly.
What to bring
  • You will need a phone, tablet, or computer with an internet connection.
  • If you wish to cook along, a shopping list will be sent to you prior to the class.

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.
