If your dream is to work in a restaurant kitchen or you love the idea of honing your cooking skills, time management and tidiness, then this class is for. Come explore the many facets of cooking and find your true food identity!
In this program, you’ll learn how to prepare and cook a wide variety of different dishes, each day, focusing on entirely different cuisine. Our expert chef will guide you (10 years+) to prepare various menus over the duration of this course. We’ll learn about knife skills, food safety, how to prepare and cook vegetables, meats, and seafood and also how to make dessert.
The course focuses on understanding food through local ingredients and a global perspective. Participants learn about the seasonality and origin of common foods. We will also explore contemporary issues relating to food justice, food wastage, and sustainability. Students will learn how to make healthy food choices as well as learn how to make a budget. Students may participate in a single class or the full 4 day-workshop throughout the duration of the week.

After the chef junior was their hands and be given our apron, we will go over the lesson of the day. They will work together in a group of 2-3 as their kitchen team.
The chef will do the demonstration and answer any question. After that, the kids will go prep and start the process of making the 3 dishes and they will eat the foods. Everyone will have a chance to taste other team food so they will learn from their friends.

ABOUT US
Otao kitchen is a cooking school and event space with a mission for people to come together to cook, connect, celebrate. We believe cooking and eating should be an experience, not just a meal. We created Otao kitchen as an extension of our passions to cook, share and inspire.
EXPERT IN COOKING CLASSES
Otao kitchen was launched in Melbourne, Australia in July 2014, with the goal of celebrating the rich and varied cooking experiences of Melbourne’s immigrant multicultural communities. Its founder, Chef Ha Nguyen, originally from Hanoi shares his passion for food, instructing customers in the exotic diaspora of Asian and around the world cuisine.
WHAT WE DO BEST?
Today our guests can get inspired by cooking with our local and international chefs, listen to their cooking and travel experiences in Asia and around the world and bring some cooking and cultural tips and tricks home. With the nods at the diversity of communities within Melbourne, Otao kitchen features an array of global food experiences from Indian to Japan to Mexico and more.
In 2020 with the challenge of global Covid 19 pandemic, we set out to capture the curriculum of our hands-cooking classes and deliver it online to home cooks in Australia and across the world to guide you to cooking success and better health.
Products and services: cooking master classes, private and corporate events, catering and event services, kid and school programs, and gift vouchers.
