About the Class

Get ready for a delicious throwback.

This hands-on cooking class is inspired by the bold, saucy, flavour-packed Chinese banquets we all grew up loving — the kind of meals shared around a big table with lazy Susans, sizzling plates, and everyone fighting over the last piece of sweet and sour pork.

In this relaxed and interactive class, you’ll cook a full banquet menu from scratch, learn key techniques, and then sit down together to enjoy a generous shared feast.

The Menu

🥩 Satay Beef
Tender beef in a rich, nutty satay sauce.

🥣 Hot & Sour Soup
Comforting, bold and perfectly balanced with heat and tang.

🍍 Sweet & Sour Pork
Crispy pork tossed in that iconic glossy sweet and sour sauce.

🍗 Mongolian Chicken
Savory, garlicky and packed with flavour.

🔥 Szechuan Steak
Spicy, aromatic and full of punchy chilli heat.

🍤 Braised Prawns & Cashews
Juicy prawns in a savoury sauce with crunchy cashews.

🍌 Golden Toffee Bananas (Dessert)
Crispy battered banana coated in hot caramel and served with ice cream — the ultimate old-school banquet finale.
