With a passion for food and a desire to maximise our precious natural resources, Peninsula Fresh Seafood has teamed up with Tamara’s Kitchen to establish a creative new cooking school on the Mornington Peninsula.

By combining the talents of both businesses under the banner of“Peninsula Gourmet Cooking School”, this new venture will create a feast of opportunity for sea food lovers, those looking for a gourmet experience and local fishing enthusiasts looking to improve their filleting skills. 

While Tamara will continue to offer her popular cheesemaking masterclasses and sourdough breadmaking classes from this purpose-built cooking school, she will also present a range of seafood classes that feature a selection of topics and style, and fish mongering classes for our local fishingenthusiasts.

Each seafood class includes several delicious recipes, lunch or dinner with local wines, a presentation folder and demonstrations on seafood skills.

Our fish mongering classes will include a presentation by our specialised fish cutters so that the students can benefit from years of experience and learn all the professional tricks of the trade.

We know you love the diversity and creativity of our talented local chefs so we will be giving them the opportunity to come and share their own styles of cooking at special ‘one off’ cooking experiences.

Peninsula Fresh Seafood has always sought to maximise our precious natural resources, so classes will also include ways to get the most out of the seafood you catch or purchase with clever tips on using the bones for stock, surprisingly delicious cuts from the parts of the fish you previously discarded, and ways to boost your confidence in the kitchen with impressively simple and delicious ways to cook seafood!
