The Talk+Eat+Drink recipe is foolproof. Take you and some friends, add in an expert Chef’s tuition along with Simon Johnson premium food products, and you’re guaranteed an out of the ordinary culinary learning experience.

Two hour seminars are now being held a few times each month within the demonstration kitchen at Simon Johnson’s Pyrmont store. For a taste of May’s authoritative line-up, you can book in for a class with exquisite pastry chef Lorraine Godsmark, Yellow Bistro and Food Store; Justin North, Becasse, for his innovative take on classic French dining; or Martin Boetz, Longrain Restaurant, master blender of Thai and southern Chinese flavours.

Angus Sanders of Wirra Wirra wines will be on hand to demystify the art of food and wine matching, and you can take home recipes and a healthy injection of inspiration to try something special in your own kitchen. To ensure you source the best quality ingredients like the professionals, there’s *10% off all purchases in store on the day of the class.

No special dietary requirements from us; just let us know when we can come round for your debut meal.
