Cooking demonstrations

Cooking demonstrations are a great way to introduce your food product to the consumer and to establish a brand awareness in the market place.
Cooking classes and cooking demonstrations have come out of the kitchen and are being used by companies for event nights, team building, special occasions, corporate client nights, private parties, and general fun and entertainment.
Whether a corporate event , Trade Show Food Fair, private function or combined with catering or dinner, a cooking demonstration can be a great ice breaker and crowd pleaser. Let Pure Food Cooking design a demonstration to suit your product requirements for your next product launch, or create a cocktail distraction for your next event.
What better way than on-site classes to build team morale, say thank you, mingle with clients, or just relax and have fun cooking with friends in a professional kitchen. A little chopping, stiring, sauteing, grilling, lots of tasting, a few drinks, and then sitting down to a magnificint banquet of dishes prepared by you and your peers.
Dominique will be presenting her new series of cooking classes from the new cooking school “Learn Cook Dine” located at
”Kitchenware Plus” 3890-3892 Pacific Highway, Loganholme QLD ph 34409555. There is ample parking and it is only 20 minutes from the city. Learn Cook Dine cooking school is available to hire out for private and corporate classes.

Pure Food Catering

As a soul woman chef, I possess a natural passion and a deep desire to develop innovative food using quality, safe, clean, fresh produce. Fueled by my Sicilian heritage, my heart always lies within the pages of Italian cuisine although my inspiration and expertise flows into creating a culinary journey of world food flavours.

I pride myself on my integrity, professionalism, effectiveness and success in delivering the same high quality product in any given circumstance or situation. My experience and food flair is showcased with my particular forte in customizing recipes for any specific culinary area and all dietary requirements including specific food allergies, vegan and vegetarian cooking.

Catering for a function is such a personal touch which is sometime lost when catering for large numbers. Pure Food Catering specialises in catering for intimate functions from 4 – 60 people for birthdays, luncheons, intimate weddings, wakes, corporate launches, business openings, hens parties, high teas, baby showers, charity events and more.

Unique to Pure Food Catering is the “Shared Table Banquet Dining” where a variety of themed selected dishes are available for all to share at one sitting and the menu consist of a selection of starters, mains and desserts. This specific style of dining is inspired by my Italian heritage where the pleasure of eating is emphasized by the contrast of flavours, dishes, ingredients and through the passing around of plates so that everyone has a unique connection to the food and to each other. This style is best suited for a luncheon, relaxed dinner , birthday and can be tailored to suit your event.

As your requirements for your function and or event are unique and special, please feel free to discuss your ideas with me for your catering menu. I am more than happy to accommodate any menu to suit your specific style and needs. Pure Food Catering Menus are available upon request and quotes are individually designed based on style and size of function.

Pure Food School Based Cooking Program

My aim is to provide a varied and comprehensive selection of tailored school based cooking classes with an opportunity for students to gain a greater appreciation for healthy whole foods keeping them in touch with modern cooking techniques in a hands-on fun and relaxed environment.

The classes are aimed to assist the Home Economic programs and the progression of the students learning. Classes vary from basic knife skills, to precision cutting styles, basic cooking techniques through to specific cuisine styles all the while focusing on healthy whole foods and fun easy recipes. Classes are also tailored to the ages of students and levels of schooling.

With over 10 years experience facilitating cooking classes at “Mondo Organics Restaurant” in Brisbane’s West End, “Black Pearl Epicure” in Brisbane’s Fortitude Valley and “Learn Cook Dine” cooking school in Loganholme. I am extremely passionate about my newest venture, The Pure Food School Based Cooking Program.
The program is a unique concept enabling students to experience hands on cooking classes developing their skills for cooking, recognising ingredients, developing flavours, food presentation and encompassing basic professional cooking and preparation techniques while focusing on following their current school based curriculum.

Classes are held on school premises and during school hours. All ingredients, recipes and related kitchen notes are included in the program. The program includes a selection of classes ranging from hands-on; where each student participates in the chopping, preparation, cooking and serving of the foods or a demonstration based class where some of the students participate in the preparation and cooking but most of the students are watching. Depending on the students ages chopping may not be applicable and therefore classes will be tailored to suit.

Past High School classes have been held at John Paul College, Mt Alvernia College, Canterbury College and A.B. Paterson College, and primary classes held at Mary Immaculate Primary School. The program is fast becoming a welcomed addition to the Home Economics department. Classes are also available to the teachers as a team building event, general interest and or developing and honing new cooking skills. Teachers classes are held after school and on school premises.

I pride myself on my integrity, professionalism, effectiveness and success in delivering the same high quality product in any given circumstance or situation. My experience and food flair is showcased with my particular forte in developing lessons and customizing recipes for any specific culinary area and all dietary requirements including specific food allergies, vegan and vegetarian cooking.

To have the opportunity to pass on the importance of learning basic cooking skills and the techniques to prepare simple healthy meals to our next generation is a gift. Through teaching I feel I am able to share my innate enthusiasm, knowledge and passion for what I have come to learn is an invaluable lesson which will assist any young person in life.
