For most of us, the idea of South America food sparks notions of adventure, diversity, vibrant colour, fun and passion. Nearly all of which can be experienced through its unique and ancient local cuisine.
This South American cooking class will take you on an adventure from Lima to Buenos Aires, exploring new ingredients and flavours, which perhaps have never graced your pantry or your palate, but will open a door that will leave you wanting more.
If you're looking for fun things to do in Melbourne, join us for an interactive and hands-on cooking class featuring the fresh flavors of four Latin American countries. Start with Peru where you'll make a ceviche appetizer filled with coriander, lime, cucumbers and tomato.
Next, you'll make a stop in Mexico with a jicama and avocado salad. Argentina is next with a chimichurri churrasco steak and papas bravas (potatos). Plus you can try the famous plantains in Bogota and end with the sweet tastes of a Cuban upside-down guava flan for dessert.
So what are you waiting for? Join us for this unique culinary experience!

Its founder, Chef Ha Nguyen, originally from Hanoi shares his passion for food, instructing customers in the exotic diaspora of Asian and around the world cuisine.

With the nods at the diversity of communities within Melbourne, Otao kitchen features an array of global food experiences from Indian to Japan to Mexico and more.
In 2020 with the challenge of global Covid 19 pandemic, we set out to capture the curriculum of our hands-cooking classes and deliver it online to home cooks in Australia and across the world to guide you to cooking success and better health.
