The Wild Oak Cooking School is purpose designed to maximise the use of a central workspace that allows a 'hands on' experience rather than a 'demonstration' kitchen. Having a small capacity of 8-10, students can enjoy a much higher level of contact with professional chef instructors.
When space became available adjoining the Wild Oak Restaurant, Chef and Owner, Ben Higgs, leapt at the chance to convert this quaint little shop into an intimate cooking space. Here he could fulfil a desire to share his knowledge in a fun environment with a small group of students.
Call Wild Oak on 9751 2033 to make a booking.
Or book online at the Wild Oak website.
With different class types and subjects to suit all levels and interests you'll easily be able to find one that is perfect for you. Come by yourself, with your partner or with friends, it's a great fun night or day out. Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine as you learn and take home handy class notes so you can recreate these great dishes at home.
