Food is not only sustenance for our bodies; it is also seen the world over as something incredible for our social wellbeing – something that brings people together over delicious delights nourishing for both the body and soul. This is an ethos shared by VIVE Cooking School, who love sharing knowledge, passion and expertise with the home cook who would love to gain a deeper connection to their food.

The perfect gift for the passionate home cook, our VIVE Cooking School $140 Voucher gives them the chance to learn more about and further appreciate the source of their food, the way they shop for their food, the preparation of their food, and the way it is served and shared with friends and family. There are an unbelievable amount of classes and events to choose from – with special guests often dropping by, technique specific classes like butchery or fish filleting, regional cuisine classes to gain inside knowledge of a favourite cuisine, and just so much more!

Julien Vassuer, their expert chef, is a passionate and experienced food-lover. His enthusiasm for food started in rural France, spending his childhood with animals, vegetables and his family’s love of communal food practices. This experience took him to the best culinary schools in the world, learning the art to creating beautiful food, before realising his love for teaching and sharing it with participants at VIVE Cooking School in Sydney.

The options for classes at VIVE Cooking School are plentiful – from private events for a unique date idea or birthday celebration, to learning the art of delicious cocktails and tapas, to stopping by for a guest chef. Alternatively, they could select a lesson dedicated to teaching molecular gastronomy to really impress, or learn how to cook raw food from ceviche to gazpacho. There are options for holiday or season specific creative classes, and even time lessons for the junior chefs.

If learning a global cuisine is more their thing, there are classes dedicated to French, Italian, Vietnamese, Spanish, Peruvian and more. The facility can also host group events – great for team bonding. Everything But Flowers experience vouchers are redeemable directly with the experience provider with full details provided upon purchase.
