Ben’s culinary inspiration comes from far and wide; he has learnt from the best in the industry both overseas and on home shores. There’s nothing quite like picking produce straight from a farm and this knowledge has been influential in inspiring Ben to use the finest ingredients in his cooking. He has travelled extensively around Indonesia with his family sampling village cuisine and learning techniques straight from the home-cooks, growers and producers in local areas.

Ben will lead a morning of hands-on cooking focusing on technique (his knife skills are truly impressive!) as well as experimental flavour combinations that will make your tastebuds sing. Participants will create aromatic dishes with adventurous flavours and vivid spicing from garden-fresh ingredients. The dishes on the menu are designed to be shared and we will do just that – a delicious shared lunch that will be long remembered.

We are thrilled to have Ben joining us to host this workshop. It’s sure to be popular so book your place before it sells out.
