Junior Chef Master Class

Junior Master Chef Classes 2025
UPDATE Session 1 SOLD OUT so we are extending Session 2 to include 8yrs to 17yrs now.

Step into a real professional kitchen and discover the joy of cooking! Led by Chef Peter Handy and sponsored by the Tasmanian Hospitality Association, this hands-on workshop at Drysdale House (TasTAFE) lets budding chefs create and plate restaurant-worthy dishes while learning insider tricks of the trade.

With two age groups (8–12 yrs and 13–17 yrs), all skill levels are welcome. Participants will pair up, cook, and enjoy their creations together in a fun, supportive environment.

Proudly presented by Teen Challenge Tasmania, a local not-for-profit to support young people, this event not only builds practical culinary skills but also supports young people with opportunities to grow in confidence, creativity and community connection.

Two Sessions Available:
👩‍🍳 Ages 8–12: 9:30am – 12:00pm
👨‍🍳 Ages 13–17: 1:00pm – 3:30pm

Gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options available.

If your child requires support, you or their support worker is able to attend with them to be in the space and stay for the whole session or as long as thay/you need to feel safe, you will not need to purchase a ticket as a support person. We will gather this information in contact once your childs tickets are purchased.

Participants will work in pairs, feel free to connect friends/siblings when getting tickets. If your young person does not have a pair, we will match them and help support the connection on the day with another participant.
