School holiday cooking classes Melbourne with Relish Mama

Our school holiday cooking classes in Melbourne are fun, hands-on sessions designed to build confidence in the kitchen while keeping things relaxed and joyful.

Cooking is a valuable life skill that sets us up for good health, great lifetime habits and nurtures and encourages creativity.

School holidays are a wonderful time for children and teens to slow down, try something new and feel proud of what they create. 

Kids and teens cook real food using fresh ingredients, learn simple skills they can use at home and enjoy sharing what they’ve made. Whether they’re already enthusiastic about cooking or just starting out, these classes give them a safe, welcoming space to explore new flavours and feel more independent in the kitchen.

What kids & teens will learn

In our kids and teens school holiday cooking classes, we focus on:

  • Practical kitchen skills like chopping, mixing, measuring and following a recipe

  • Trying new ingredients and flavours in a friendly, supportive environment

  • Understanding kitchen safety and good habits that build confidence
