Looking for unique things to do in Melbourne? Learn how to cook modern Australian food with Tonya in her beautiful apartment, enjoying the picturesque views of St Kilda and Port Phillip Bay!
Tonya warmly welcomes you into her apartment with tea and cake to experience her modern Australian food. Her philosophy is to cook with fresh, locally-produced ingredients using simple recipes that help enhance the natural flavours of the food, making it look and taste delicious!
Then, you will learn how to make three modern Australian dishes that you will enjoy together, with wine.
Tonya starts this three-hour cooking lesson by giving you an overview of the menu, and providing helpful tips for the preparation and cooking process. A few dishes that you might prepare are oysters and verjus jelly with a shallot dressing, green peppercorn and chive jus, ocean trout served with creamy, lemony aioili and garnished with native Australian finger limes or hazelnut torte with blueberries.
You'll also get to enjoy the delicious meal you've made, served with wine, at her dining table with views overlooking the bay.
Your meal will then end with a dessert such as pavlova-style meringue rolled with vanilla bean cream or chocolate fondant with seasonal berries accompanied by a cranberry jelly or ice-cream. Tea or coffee will be available upon request.
At the end of your cooking class, you will be given a folder to take home with all the recipes and tips that you learned so you can easily recreate the meal at home. Bon appetit!
Sample menu:
Please note menu might vary according to seasonal availability. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include these in your request.
This class is great for a team building activity, birthday or hens party.
This would also be a lovely gift for her, gift for mum, anniversary gift or birthday gift.

Tonya’s passion for food and cooking is evident from her training as a chef in Melbourne and at prestigious international cooking schools including Le Cordon Bleu and the Ritz Escoffier in Paris and La Varenne l’Ecole de Cuisine in Burgundy. She has an extensive personal culinary library of over 3,000 cookbooks and books related to food! Tonya loves teaching cooking and enthusiastically shares her knowledge of food through her cooking classes conducted in her home. She enjoys talking about Australia's food, culture, history and way of life and is thrilled to be able to share this with travelers from around the world.
Traveling Spoon was founded by Aashi Vel and Steph Lawrence who met at the Haas School of Business in 2011 around their joint passion of food. They shared a dream of helping people connect with authentic food experiences while traveling and founded Traveling Spoon to build a community of fellow food and travel lovers seeking meaningful experiences around the world.
In 2007, Steph traveled to China for the first time. After two and half weeks in the country, she was struck by how little she had connected with the local food and culture. Spending weeks traveling by tour bus from silk factory to hotel banquet hall where she ate with other tourists, she realised she didn't connect with the local culture at all. She decided to move to China in 2009 to learn the language and explore the culture through its food - she wanted to learn to make dumplings from a Chinese grandmother. But when she moved there, she found there was nothing out there to help her find the experiences she sought.
In 2011, Aashi traveled to Mexico, and had a similar problem discovering the local food and culture. She scoured review websites trying to find the most authentic food and the least touristy restaurants she could. On her way to another overly-crowded tourist spot, she saw through a window a woman in her kitchen, making dinner. That was where she wanted to be eating dinner, sharing a homemade meal with this local Mexican woman, hearing her stories and learning about her culture.
When Aashi and Steph met at business school in 2011, these experiences had never left them. Both of them believed in the power of travel to make the world a smaller, better place, and wanted to help travellers experience authentic, meaningful, and delicious travel experiences around the world. They started working on Traveling Spoon in all their MBA classes, launched the company after graduating in 2013, and haven't looked back since.
