Back to 🧑‍🍳 school for our last term and we hit the ground swirling 🍷
What better way to kick off the term than a wine appreciation lesson with the amazing Kelsey from Paint The Town Wine! Paint The Town Wine

So much learnt — pairing food and wine, tasting, and understanding flavour.

Thank you Kelsey for sharing your extensive knowledge with us. We loved every sip!

Did you know our advanced students cure and smoke their own products?
From biltong to smoked chicken, they create their own flavour profiles.
Chef lumi’s flavour crush: 😻
Asian Hot Honey Smoked Chicken ……sweet, spicy, smoky.

This is how real skills are built. 🧑‍🍳 (shout out to Chef Lumi for the video 🩷)
