Overview

Learn the tricks of the trade when it comes to tequila, as Chin Chin Melbourne's Executive Chef Benjamin Cooper joins forces with Herradura Tequila for a one-day-only cooking class on Sunday, June 22.

Expect wall-to-wall agave, as the session kicks off with a lychee paloma — made with Herradura's finest — paired with kingfish ceviche and puffed rice crackers. Next, guests indulge in a tequila tasting and a hands-on Thai margarita and garnish tutorial, where you'll make this delightful cocktail and accoutrements like the best in the business.

Suitably boozed up, it's time to head into the kitchen. Watch carefully as Cooper delivers a live cooking demonstration featuring his signature Northern Thai braised beef cheek curry. Follow his instructions to the tee and see if your dish measures up.

Once class is complete, the feast doesn't stop. Instead, you'll gather for a post-lesson feed me session, with dishes like barbecue scallops with curry-spiced corn, chilli egg fried rice, and a chocolate and coconut panna cotta sending you home stuffed. Of course, this feast also comes with a tequila cocktail to match.
