Why choose us?
Kids love having a go at all cooking skills. Our classes are uniquely kept small and therefore they are not just stir-a-bowl or watching lessons!
Since 2002 the qualified classroom teacher has been running Brisbane cooking workshops and also in the UK and has vast experience with children of all ages and abilities.
Creativity is a messy and important part of childhood but don’t worry, we clean up!
We can cater for students of all abilities; inquisitive cooks, creative minds, beginners and even help fussy eaters.
Our lessons are taught in a commercial-class kitchen with on-street parking and lots of local cafes and bushwalks right here.
Parent of ADHD child
Karen, I want to let you know that because of your business and programs you run for kids who want to learn how to cook, my daughter has gained confidence and brought those skills home, with her own little cooking draw of utensils. She is out making scrambled eggs for us for breakfast now! We can’t always attend every holidays, and we are a little far away to do a weekly course, but she is better for attending even a couple of courses! She struggles with ADHD inattentive and teaching her skills of following a recipe and structure helps to improve her exec functioning! So does her dance and any physical activity! So thank you for sharing your love of cooking!!
Birthday party Mum June 2019
What a brilliant time we had at Come and Cook for our daughter’s 10th birthday. The kids learned, sang, danced and cooked some amazing dishes. An absolute ball and Karen made it fun. They all want to go back! Thanks Karen

Regular school holiday student
My son LOVES coming to “Come and Cook” on the school holidays. He has learned how to cook many fabulous dishes from scratch, he has become more confident in the kitchen and he has been taught skills that he will use for the rest of his life. Karen is both kind and patient with her students. June 2018

Birthday Parties
Karen runs a smooth operation for both young and old. She involved all participants equally at our birthday party in the preparation and serving of food. Her approach is personal and hands-on, setting her apart from others. Many of the guests commented on what an excellent day it was. These life skills are preparing them for the future in an entertaining and enjoyable atmosphere. July 2018

Catering for food intolerances
My son loved Karen’s course! Karen is super flexible and tailored the ingredients for him based on his food intolerances which was so appreciated. He came home with an array of delicious breakfast food and I’ve not been able to get him out of the kitchen since 🙂 Can’t recommend Come and Cook Highly enough!

Mum impressed by weekly Dinner Club
10/11/2016 I get more and more impressed with Ben each week wanting to eat the food he makes at Come and Cook classes. We can never get Ben to try these kind of foods but due to him cooking the food he is happy to try everything and eat most of it”.
