Masterclass with Lizzie Hewson

Join celebrated food writer and cookbook author Elizabeth Hewson—known affectionately as Lizzie—as she brings her relaxed, soulful approach to cooking into an inspiring hands-on class. With her trademark philosophy that food should feel comforting, simple and joyfully imperfect, Lizzie guides you through approachable dishes drawn from her latest book Home Food: the perfect cookbook for imperfect cooks. As the creative force behind Saturday Night Pasta and the recipe columnist for The Weekend Australian Magazine, her teaching blends flavour, practicality and storytelling.

In this engaging workshop, you’ll learn how to create fuss-free meals that fit real life—whether you’re craving nostalgic flavours, low-effort cooking or clever shortcuts for feeding a crowd. After watching Lizzie’s expert demonstration, you’ll prepare your own dishes at your personal cooking station before sitting down to enjoy the results in the school’s beautiful dining room. Expect a relaxed, uplifting experience that celebrates food made with heart, not perfection.
