A MasterChef in the Kitchen
Every year, one class comes with a special guest. This school holidays, a familiar face from MasterChef Australia is stepping into the Little Chefs kitchen to lead a hands-on class of their own — teaching young cooks to prep, cook and plate a signature dish, just like on screen. A rare chance for your little one to cook alongside a chef they've watched at home.
