Willow Vale Cooking School

Welcome

Set on an idyllic farm with a 130 year old Queenslander, Willowvale Cooking School is located between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. With cooking classes run by legendary chef Bruno Loubet and organically grown produce hand-picked straight from the farm.

Visit our What’s On page to book tickets for our up-coming classes or contact us direct for information about our private hire.

I love Bruno. He is one of the most talented and experienced chefs with one eye on the pot and one eye on the vegetable patch.

Bruno is a very special Chef. He is both technically skilled and creative. He also happens to be one of the nicest people I have ever worked with, always friendly ,calm and positive.

Australia's gain is the U.K.'s loss. While Bruno is likeable and self-effacing, his impact and influence on the restaurant scene eclipses that of many high-profile London chefs.

Creative Workshops

At Willow Vale Cooking School we plan our calendar around the garden and tailor our classes based on what vegetables are in season, reinforcing our beliefs around living a more sustainable lifestyle.

Private Sessions

Willow Vale Cooking School is available for private hire for small groups.
Whether you have been tasked with the important job of organising a party or just looking for a unique experience with friends we can tailor classes to your needs!

Bruno & Catherine Loubet

Bruno and Catherine recently returned from the busy London restaurant scene to sunny Queensland again seeking out that all important slower pace. They fell in love with an old Queenslander set on 8 ½ acres and decided to create a boutique cooking school.

Homegrown Cooking

We want Willow Vale Cooking School to reflect the growing movement towards a more sustainable lifestyle, respecting what we eat and showcasing the provenance and production techniques.

Up Coming Workshops

French Icons

Most people, who have experienced good “old school” French food will have been struck by the honest depths of flavours, followed by a soothed, comforting feeling.
We could call it the ultimate comfort food, but don’t be fooled…this is sophisticated cooking.

Scrumptious truffles

Australian truffles from Manjimup are renowned for their premium quality, due to the amazing work done by regional producers. I, myself originally from the South West of France (home of the French truffle) can honestly say Australian truffles are as good as any European ones.

If you want to move more towards a plant based diet or already champion the plant kingdom, its easy to feel stuck on what to do to keep it interesting and more importantly healthy.
