“We had an incredible experience at this matcha cooking class! Yoshiko was so knowledgeable and we came away with tons of learnings about different types of matcha, cooking with matcha, and all of matcha’s amazing health benefits. The class was highly engaging and hands-on, and Yoshiko provided plenty of instruction and feedback which we loved. Highly recommend for any matcha lovers!” - Amy L.

Beyond this culinary delight, Sydney offers countless other experiences. For outdoor lovers, walk along the Bondi to Coogee coastal trail or take a ferry to Manly Beach and stroll along the Corso.

Led by Indigenous elder Dale Tilbrook, this experience will introduce you to the fascinating world of native Australian foods. You'll learn about the medicinal and holistic benefits of various plants and herbs while indulging in delicious bush tucker teas and snacks.
