Long Black and our signature Baklava, what a combo, ☕️🍮🙏. Spectacular day and super happy dad @ Castlemaine Steiner School Fair. Cooked continues to deliver meaningful hospitality training. Some happy snaps from this week from our Daylesford base, Creswick markets and festivals.

Today, we had another close encounter with the Australian top predator. Pleasure to witness Lynn Watson share her passion with our young people. Our animal assisted learning program is designed to engage school-refusals and young people connected with Youth Justice and Child Protection in a hands-on learning opportunity.

Next time you buy food from our Cooked Food Vans, you are directly supporting this wonderful engagement and encounter.
