DETAILS
Cooking on the Bay invites patrons to come and enjoy small, hands-on cooking classes whilst experiencing the lifestyle and the beauty of the Port Phillip Bay. Enjoy a cooking day ‘at the beach' in St Kilda, followed by a leisurely lunch or dinner, with wine, overlooking the picturesque bay. You learn the principles and techniques of cooking, enabling you to then transfer that knowledge, adapt and vary it to many other cooking applications and recipes. Tonya's gastronomic philosophy is to cook fresh, local food in season, to cook for taste and to cook food simply, thereby enhancing the natural food flavours.
