About Us

Our small family business grew out of a passion for great food and a love of all things locally grown and made. Having an Italian heritage, where life revolves around food, and a background in Hospitality teaching,  it was only a matter of time before the two became one.

And so... in 2010, Flavours of the Valley Cooking School was established in Kangaroo Valley.  Our mission is to create unique experiences that connect people to the earth, food, and artisanal growing and making.  Having survived bushfires, floods and a global pandemic, a recent shift in focus has moved us from country life to urban living - closer to family and friends. Our love of using our hands has not changed, but we have downsized from acres of land to urban vertical gardens, and growing on a micro scale. And... with fond, nostalgic memories of Hideaway Cafe, from our youth, it is the perfect place to re-establish ourselves.
