We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations, both First Nations and non-First Nations peoples, towards creating a better Queensland.

Get creative in this hands-on cooking adventure designed for children! In this interactive workshop, participants will learn about the Food Rainbow and discover new herbs and spices, sparking curiosity about where food comes from, what makes it yummy, and how even little hands can make something tasty!

Led by professional chef Luisa Scrimshaw, this workshop will have Little Chefs rolling up their sleeves to make something delicious for their lunchbox while exploring new flavours, textures, and smells along the way.

With a mix of learning, tasting, and creating, this workshop has the perfect recipe for fun and food-loving curiosity. Let’s get cooking and travel the world – one lunchbox at a time!

Suited for all dietary requirements.

Little Chefs Cooking Workshops is part of QPAC’s Out of the Box Festival.
