Kirsty's 1:1 class - Another fantastic session this week, with plenty of skill-building and growing confidence in the kitchen.

He did a wonderful job carefully cutting up all the chicken, then mixing through his own spice blend for extra flavour — cumin, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder. This was a great exercise in knife skills and understanding how layering spices enhances a dish.

He cooked and drained the pasta perfectly, showing excellent attention to timing and texture. He also enjoyed learning how to safely use the can opener to prepare the tuna — building independence with everyday kitchen tools.

He confidently adjusted the oven temperature to help brown the cheese to a lovely golden finish.

Overall, a great class filled with progress, practical skills, and growing confidence. Each week he’s becoming more capable and comfortable in the kitchen — it’s wonderful to see.

Nat’s weekly 1:1 cooking class is a hands-on, personalised experience where she and her client plan the following week’s menu together. Once the menu is set, he enjoys heading out to shop for all the ingredients himself, building anticipation and confidence before class even begins.

This particular week’s menu offered a wonderful variety of flavour and skill development:

Spice-coated lamb cutlets – learning how to balance spices and cook meat to perfection

Roast vegetable medley – mastering caramelisation and even roasting

Raita – understanding fresh flavours and complementary pairings

Steamed greens – simple techniques that preserve colour and nutrients

Mini pizzas – creativity with toppings and dough handling

Chocolate crackles – a nostalgic no-bake sweet treat to finish

The session combined protein cookery, vegetable preparation, flavour pairing, baking, and confectionery — a beautifully rounded class that builds both skill and confidence in the kitchen.

Group cooking class update from Kirsty -

The participant enjoyed making hedgehog slice along with bacon and scrambled eggs.

He did very well, crushing the biscuits with the electric mixer and mixing all the ingredients together. He then prepared bacon and scrambled eggs, cooking the eggs in the microwave just like his mum does.

Another participant was an absolute machine in the kitchen. After the chicken breast was cut to the family’s liking, she coated it in buttermilk along with her own blend of herbs and spices. She then shallow-fried the chicken on the electric stovetop and plans to assemble the chicken burgers later.

It was a very positive and productive session.

Update for our 1:1 cooking class - It was an enjoyable class with the participant, who was very engaged throughout the session.

She particularly enjoyed chopping up the fruit for the fruit salad and preparing the taco salad. She confidently ventured up to the stovetop to help stir and cook the mince, choosing to add her own blend of spices for the taco seasoning rather than using a pre-packaged mix.

She commented on how wonderful the ingredients smelled and thoroughly enjoyed both the cooking process and the opportunity to chat along the way.

It was a very positive and enjoyable session.

Return to the Oakleigh cooking class after the Christmas break and we made Sweet and Sour Pork and Lemon Delicious cake.

There was great involvement in preparing the sweet and sour pork, with excellent work done in cutting up the vegetables.

The lemon delicious dessert took much longer than the recipe suggested — approximately an additional 40 minutes in the oven before it was fully set, but it turned out looking and smelling beautiful.
