Your cooking class will be a true bonding experience for your friends, family or work colleagues. When you learn to cook together, this help people better communicate, delegate tasks, see tangible results from their efforts and simply have fun together.
Your professional chefs help your colleagues, friends or family work together in a cohesive, positive and efficient way to create a delicious meal together. Not only will you learn cooking skills you can use in your own kitchens at home, you will learn how to effectively communicate and work together. These are important skills that will easily translate from our kitchens to your office or social setting.
People from all cultures, ages, interests and cooking abilities gather in our kitchens to share the universal experience of cooking, learning and of course, eating!
Your highly skilled chefs are trained to be engaging and inspiring teachers and leaders in the kitchen. They will help your team or group break down barriers that may exist in the workplace or social setting as you all participate in this fun, playful team bonding event.
The results could be the recipe for your organisation’s success. Pre-determine your groups to make sure certain people work together or let the bonds build organically. Each event’s topics and objectives are customised to meet your goals, schedule and budget.

ABOUT US
Otao kitchen is a cooking school and event space with a mission for people to come together to cook, connect, celebrate. We believe cooking and eating should be an experience, not just a meal. We created Otao kitchen as an extension of our passions to cook, share and inspire.
EXPERT IN COOKING CLASSES
Otao kitchen was launched in Melbourne, Australia in July 2014, with the goal of celebrating the rich and varied cooking experiences of Melbourne’s immigrant multicultural communities. 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.
WHAT WE DO BEST?
Today our guests can get inspired by cooking with our local and international chefs, listen to their cooking and travel experiences in Asia and around the world and bring some cooking and cultural tips and tricks home. 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.
Products and services: cooking master classes, private and corporate events, catering and event services, kid and school programs, and gift vouchers.
