Chef Jacqui’s French and Indigenous Australian Cooking Experience

This is a small-group style cooking experience with Chef Jacqui, a classically French trained chef who draws on French technique, modern influences and Indigenous Australian ingredients. You’ll cook in her kitchen using seasonal, sustainable produce, including ingredients from her kitchen garden and Mornington Peninsula suppliers, then sit down to enjoy a three-course meal. At AUD 235, it sits more in the premium experience category than the cheap-and-cheerful end, so it’s best suited to travellers who genuinely want a proper food-focused session rather than just a quick tasting.

You’ll spend around five hours cooking with Chef Jacqui in a home kitchen setting, learning recipes she loves to make while picking up practical guidance aimed at building confidence rather than making the process intimidating. The style leans into French cooking alongside Australian flavours and native ingredients, with an emphasis on fresh seasonal produce. After the hands-on part, you’ll share a three-course meal at the table. The experience is wheelchair accessible, with accessible surfaces and space for prams or strollers, and service animals are allowed.
