  • Overview

    In one of the most multicultural countries in the world, Australian’s take pride in embracing a vibrant and culturally diverse food scene.

    What comes to mind and appears in most polls for Australia’s National dish is roast lamb, BBQ, Fish (‘n chips) Tim Tams, Vegemite and then the debate kicks off with which country on what side of the Tasman can lay claim to Lamingtons and Pavlova.

    We know that food itself creates a wonderful connection with time, geography, traditions, storytelling and understanding people and their culture.

    Our hungry minds have become intrigued with our sustainable plants and trees, with growing recognition for the tremendous nutritional value and interesting recipe range using Australia’s own food.

    Food provenance, promoting local sustainable produce and superfood trends have created a specific interest in Australia’s ingredients and “Bush Tucker” food.

    Otao Kitchen recognises some of Australia’s true local sustainable foods using flavourful ingredients for you to prepare and share a 3-course meal. This is a unique cooking and dining experience where you will have a deeper understanding of the amazing value of Native Food to your health, the environment and of course their delicious culinary uses and wide array of recipes.

    We've used Otao Kitchen for two work social events now - one making dumplings and the other a Vietnamese cooking class, and both were excellent. Great fun, high energy, inclusive, an the food that resulted was delicious.

    My husband and I attended the Japanese cooking masterclass and it did not disappoint! It was interactive, educational and above all else fun! They were able to accommodate dietary requirements without any fuss and made sure we were taken care of without feeling left out. The food was delicious and would Definetly recommend to anyone wanting to try something new and learn to cook while having fun. Thank you Ha & team!

    Otao kitchen was a present I got for my partner and what a great night. A great variety and selection of cuisines to learn and try and well priced. We did the Vietnamese class and it lasted a good 3 hours. The chef was easy to follow, friendly and helpful. Ingredients were quality and the menu was amazing. We didn't leave hungry, had a good time and a good selection of drinks on offer too. Then even cater for intolerances. Recommended q visit here or three

    Once you have done one class, you are going to want to go back and do more. The instructors are lovely and you are in a no pressure environment. Everyone is different so if you finish early thats great, if it's later then that's okay too. The food you will make is not only pretty but damn tasty. Better yet, something you will want to go back again and make. So this isn't a one time deal, you will want to take what you have learned and show it off to your friends at a dinner party or make your family think you deserve a Michelin Star because your tastebuds are bedazzled. Seriously do yourself a favour and book a class. It's truly worth it.
