WORKSHOPS - Fern Bay Location or your location in the Hunter Region

We are excited to welcome you back to Fern Bay. Our cooking workshops will take place in Sophie’s much loved kitchen and on their lovely property or your location in the Hunter Region.

After spending 9 months in the USA, and delivering our workshops with a twist, we have found this new way works better and keeps the price down. You will SAVE, SAVE, SAVE!

We’re so excited for this new plan! We want to make our kitchen ACCESSIBLE TO ALL and we believe this is THE ANSWER!

IT’S A GAME CHANGER!

Most people have the basic ingredients in their pantry and fridge. Wouldn’t it be much more cost effective and not to mention sustainable if you could bring those ingredients with you and contribute?

So here’s how it will work:

The workshops will be offered to groups of up to and no more than 6 or 8 or 10. There will be a group price you will pay up front. Each pair in the group will grab all the ingredients from home or at the supermarket and bring with you to the workshop according to the recipe they are allocated!

YES we will send you a shopping list! Winning!

Ps. bring containers to take left overs home! What a bonus!

FOODIE RETREATS - Hunter Valley and surrounds or Northern NSW Location

There’s nothing quite like getting away for our usual routine and heading into the country to begin a weekend of meandering as we cook and gather together creating deliciously good food.

It’s a one of a kind experience - sure you can cook at home and prepare a nice spread, but there’s something about gathering with food lovers and together stirring the pot, sizzling the pan and tasting food that is filled with so much fun and laughter.

Come join us on one of our weekend gatherings (or weekdays if that’s better for you) and let’s enjoy a round of slow cooking and slow living!
