Melbourne – Cooking masterclass from Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients

Money raised from the classes will support Jamie’s Ministry of Food program, which aims to educate people on the benefits of cooking with fresh food, and his Learn Your Fruit and Veg program, a food literacy program for children. All ‘chefs’ will get to take home an apron and a bottle of wine along with their (hopefully) masterclass meals.
