School Program with Asian Foods

At Otao Kitchen we want to show kids how much fun cooking can be and, by involving them in preparing and cooking their own meals, encourage them to try new foods. Our School Incursion Class is designed to complement and enhance your students’ learning and curriculum activities. Ideal as part of Asian language studies, Humanities, Health and Physical Education, or Cultural subjects, our Asian Food and Culture Program is a fun and educational culinary experience.

Hands on Asian Cooking Experiences 

The one-hour cooking will conclude at Your School and is the lead in to an exciting hands on cooking class. Your kids will be guided step-by-step by expert chefs to create a marvellous Asian menu such as dumplings, chicken in banana leaves and rice paper rolls and more. The lessons are fully interactive, practical classes designed to both educate and entertain students and to get them excited about cooking! This is also a fantastic team building and communication skills activity.

School Program with Asian Foods is an authentic curriculum-based tour and we can work with you to ensure the program meets the specific learning needs of your students. We also offer school trip to Melbourne Markets will offer an opportunity for Food Technology students to experience for themselves how the hospitality industry in Melbourne operates, providing a great inspiration to your students.
