Informative culinary experience. - My day with Chef Jacqui was everything I expected and more. Small groups with great hands on cooking class in lovely surrounds. We were taught three dishes plus lots of tips and chefs guidance as we made asparagus with hollandaise sauce, parmesan Tuille, and the perfect poached egg. Saltbush rack of lamb with pea purée, persillade and amazing smashed potatoes. Followed by Apple Tarte Tatin. Lots of laughs. Lots of fun, a few glasses of wine and a full belly. What more could you want from a cooking class. I can’t wait to visit again for another season’s tuition.

A very enjoyable day for my husband and I - Jacqui was so lovely and welcoming. We learnt so much about French cooking from knife skills to general organisation. Jacqui was so generous with her knowledge. The 3 course meal that we cooked was amazing and one that we will repeat at home, and we will explore further French cuisine. We would recommend this to anyone who have a passion for French food or not. We look forward to Jacqui’s news letters in the future and would love to join her again for another lesson.

A memorable afternoon! - Our lovely afternoon spent with Chef Jacqui was one of the highlights of our recent visit from New Zealand to the Mornington Peninsula. We learned many tips and techniques and with Jacqui’s expert guidance, given in a friendly and relaxed manner, produced a gorgeous three-course meal. We highly recommend for a family experience with a difference!

Fun filled day of drinking wine, laughing, cooking & dining - My fiancé and I received a gift voucher from my Aunt & Uncle who had previously enjoyed the company of Chef Jacqui at her lovely home. We both highly recommend this for anyone of any skill level to laugh, relax, learn some fantastic ways of cooking and most of all eating the delicious food we had cooked. Can’t wait to bring some friends and do it all again!

Bon appetit! - Fantastic day with Chef Jacqui in picturesque Fingal, sipping wine while learning an array of culinary skills. The menu looked intense, but with Jacqui’s expert tutorial and warm and inviting hospitality, we soon giggled our way to French inspired perfection. A very engaging afternoon. Looking forward to coming again!

10/10 - We had an absolutely ripper time with Jacqui at her Mornington cooking class. The experience was 10/10 and the learnings have been repeated a handful of times already at our own homes. Jacqui has amazing food knowledge and is a great laugh. Would highly recommend if you're looking to improve your cooking over a few wines with friends. Thanks Jacqui, we are confident that we will be back! Cheers, Nic

An exceptional cooking experience in a sensational setting! - Jacqui was exceptional in her own presentation and that of her kitchen. Everything was sparkling and her home is stylish, chic, open plan resort living which made the overall experience one of luxury and decadence. I confess, I like to feel special when paying for a service and that is exactly what you get. The menu is generous and one that gives you great skills and tips to re-produce food that is sensational and absolutely doable!! It will impress anyone! Overlooking the Moonah Links Golf Course and beyond, the views are amazing. An amazing chef who is genuine with her desire to share knowledge and empower her guests with the confidence to create amazing food. A must do if you like food and entertaining!

Cooking and eating with friends - We had such a wonderful time cooking with chef Jacqui.She is so personable at the end of the class we felt we had spent time with best friends. As I am a trained Food Tech teacher I even learnt new techniques. Chef Jacqui is so talented and was an excellent teacher. Will do another class later next year. Highly recommend this activity
