About this tour

Chef Jacqui draws from her experience in top Melbourne and European restaurants, blending French technique with modern sensibilities and native Australian ingredients sourced from her garden and local Mornington Peninsula producers. Over five hours, you'll cook alongside her, then sit down to eat what you've made. Seasonal, sustainable produce sits at the heart of everything.

What to expect
You'll arrive at Chef Jacqui's kitchen and move through a practical afternoon of cooking. She teaches by doing—you're not watching from the sidelines but working through each dish together, learning how to handle ingredients and techniques without fearing mistakes. The menu shifts with the seasons and what's available locally. Once the cooking wraps up, you sit at her table for the three-course meal you've just prepared, with time to actually enjoy what you've made. Expect conversation, good food, and a genuine sense of accomplishment.
