It will be a cosy intimate group of 6 plus me! I will be your host, your guide, your cookery instructor (well for one class together), and your all-round good person! Ha! Melbourne is the next best thing to Italy in Australia for me and I’m so excited to share it with you!!

Please join me as I stand with our Ukraine brothers and sisters, to cook for them, their country, they’re freedom! The senseless war by Russia on Ukraine has left many Ukrainians homeless – mothers with their young children fleeing Ukraine to find safety in boarding countries. These children’s fathers left behind to fight for their country, their home! I can’t even imagine the trauma these people are facing on a daily basis is irrefutable! Therefore, I will hold a ‘Cook for Ukraine’ fundraising workshop at The Village Cooks to raise much needed funds for Unicef Australia who is providing life saving supplies to the children and mothers displaced in Ukraine! 100% of each ticket sold will be donated to Unicef Australia. Price per ticket is $200. We will cook and bake a 3 course Ukrainian lunch – recipes I will pick from Olia Hercules’s (Ukrainian born, residing in London food writer, chef, author) cookbooks – Mamushka, Kaukasis and Summer Kitchens. Hope you can join me. Sunday, 24 April 2022
