Find the Right Cooking Class in Brunswick

Getting Cooking Classes Right

Brunswick Kitchen is a small cooking school at 1/288 Albert Street, run by chef Tracey Lister. She spent years cooking and teaching in Hanoi and has co-written several Vietnamese cookbooks, so her own classes lean on dishes from Hanoi and central Vietnam, cooked and shared around a long communal table.

What a private group gets at Albert Street:

  • A class shaped around a menu or theme the group picks, which suits birthdays and catch-ups
  • Team building where staff cook in pairs or small teams toward one shared meal, from ten guests
  • Everything prepared served to the table with a glass of wine
  • Aprons supplied, so guests only need to turn up hungry
  • Pricing from $145 per person

The format is mostly demonstration, with everyone asked to lend a hand as the dishes come together.
