Eating food is a deeply social yearning – it is almost always a shared experience, with people eating together as a social activity; where family or friends comes gather and connect with each other. We use food as gifts, and we see it as symbol that binds us together during holidays, birthdays, and other celebrations. Most nights we sit with loved ones and indulge in our meals together after a long day apart. VIVE Cooking School’s philosophy is driven by this – giving home cooks the opportunity to learn new and exciting ways to connect with their food to share their new skills.
For the enthusiastic foodie dude, our VIVE Cooking School $200 Voucher opens the door to boundless opportunities to learn new and exciting recipes and cuisines, while also gaining a deeper connection with the foods’ source, shopping for it, preparing it, and most importantly, sharing it! Each month he will find different classes to choose from – creative and interesting new ways to love food, from molecular gastronomy to French cuisine, or heading in for a private event or a to see a loved special guest, and just so much more!
VIVE Cooking School’s founder comes from Cambodian-French heritage, two cultures deeply connected to the social food traditions and rituals of spending time with loved ones feasting on nourishing, sustainable foods – something that is deeply celebrated at VIVE. The classes are lead though, by passionate expert chef, Julien Vassuer, who after growing up in rural France around veggies, animals and sharing food with family and friends, took his enthusiasm for food through the world studying at some of the best schools. Now in Sydney, he is channelling his love of teaching at VIVE Cooking School.
Whether that is getting into the popular ceviche movement with a raw dishes class; adding some creativity to summer salads for the season ahead; learn the tricks to gorgeous Italian fare from the Rome area; perfect Spanish tapas, Vietnamese, Greek or Peruvian cuisines; study how to perfectly fillet a fish, or butcher a lamb; impress on the big day with a Christmas class; or for the young fella, there are junior chef classes for him to enjoy.
