After decades in professional kitchens, she's developed a set of habits that have become second nature the kind of tips that make you slap your forehead and wonder why nobody told you sooner. So to celebrate Zero Waste Week here ere are her five favourites. You're welcome...
We caught up with one of our most well-travelled students, who flew all the way from Australia to cook with us, then headed off to backpack around Eastern Europe. No big deal.
Meet Benjamin - June 2026's Amigo of The Month! He's a brilliant young chef who’s been joining our Young Holiday Classes for a couple of years now and he's cooked up some seriously delicious dishes along the way including Roast Duck and Sushi....not bad for a 9 year old!
Meet Jude, one of our Young Holiday Class regulars, as he shares his favourite dishes, cooking highlights, and why he loves learning at The Avenue Cookery School.
Meet Faris! From mastering Roast Potatoes to discovering Focaccia for the first time, Faris has been cooking up a storm with us for the past two years. We caught up with him to talk favourite classes, standout dishes and why coming hungry is always a good idea...
Meet One of Our Regulars! Cooking with us for the past few years, Roberta first found The Avenue the way many of you do, down a Google rabbit hole searching for cookery classes… and thankfully landed in the right place. Here’s a little peek into their Avenue journey so far:
Meet Michael - January 2026's Amigo of The Month! Michael has been a familiar face in our kitchen since 2024, and after walking past The Avenue one too many times, he finally took the plunge and we’re very glad he did!
Meet Novello - November 2025's Amigo of The Month! We caught up with Novello to find out what makes The Avenue Cookery School so irresistible!
Meet Zoe - October 2025's Amigo of The Month! She joined our Basic to Brilliant 2-week course this year and we couldn’t wait to hear about her kitchen adventures… including her bold experiment with Marmite eggy bread!
Meet Crystal - September 2025's Amigo of The Month! They say the way to someone’s heart is through their stomach, but for Crystal, it all started with a bike ride and a birthday surprise. From Sushi & Cocktails to marinated chicken feet her foodie adventures are anything but boring.
