our classes
Cooking is an art form, an expression of life. At Asian Garden Cooking School, we admire the philosophy and techniques of Asian Cuisine.
We strive to share our knowledge of Asian cooking, and most importantly allow you to seek enlightenment in the process of cooking and socialising.
If you enjoy cooking, you’ll love unlocking the secrets of fresh ingredients, many of which are grown in our own market garden onsite, which you will pick and use to create an authentic Asian meal.
End the class by sitting down and enjoying your own cooked meals with a glass of wine or beer with new friends and admire your skills.
We run day and evening classes, you can either book into an existing class online; or you can book for a special event or function.
Please note, due to the ingredients we use during the cooking process (fish sauce, oyster sauce, shrimp paste etc.) our general classes are not suitable for vegans/vegetarians.
Some dietary requirements can be catered for, but please let us know at the time of booking or please see our calendar for special vegetarian/vegan classes.
