Saturday 25 May

In today's world, where home-cooked meals are becoming the heart of our dining experiences, it's essential to harness the tools at our disposal. 

Together, we'll explore techniques to maximize flavor, efficiency, and creativity, ensuring that every meal prepared with the Thermomix is delicious and healthy for ourselves and our families. Whether you're a seasoned Thermomix user or just beginning your culinary journey, this class promises to inspire, educate, and empower you to make the most of your time in the kitchen. 

We will embark on this flavorful adventure together and redefine the way we cook and savor meals at home.

We're talking about maximizing every inch of your Thermomix to whip up dishes that are not just delicious but are also brimming with creativity and ease. Whether you're a seasoned kitchen warrior or a newbie looking to spice up your cooking game, this class is more about creating abundance in your kitchen. 

Armanda Ho

Armanda is a local to the Southern Highlands. With her Singaporean heritage enriching her palette, Armanda's dishes are a once-in-a-lifetime experience, encapsulating her philosophy that food is a journey of discovery and respect. She encourages mindful eating, savoring each bite, and understanding the story behind your food, from garden to plate.

Join Armanda in celebrating Angelique's legacy through "Angel Love Cooking - Food with Heart." Here, mindfulness and nutritious cooking collide, creating a space where every meal is a tribute to love and life. 

Armanda's journey began with a challenge – crafting wholesome meals for her daughter Angelique, who faced eating difficulties due to VATER syndrome. Rejecting sugar-laden hospital food, she embraced Thermomix to create nutritious, pureed delights, ensuring Angelique's health and happiness. This experience ignited Armanda's passion for mindful cooking, a meditative practice where each ingredient, each stir, brings you closer to a state of calm and presence. 

In honor of her beloved daughter Angelique, whose spirit lives on in every dish, Armanda invites you to a culinary journey that nourishes both body and soul. Armanda believes in the healing power of preparing food mindfully, embracing the emotions and memories it evokes. Armanda's coaching transcends traditional culinary guidance, offering a sanctuary where grief meets growth, and loss transforms into healing.

Stephen Santucci

Stephen was formerly head chef at Vini, Surry Hills and learnt his craft in Italy where he spent a number of years working in restaurants, including under the tutelage of Michelin-starred chef, Salvatore Tassa. He credits his career to his grandparents, especially his grandmother, with whom he recalls fondly making 'dried sausage' (they never called it salami) as a child in the basement of her cantina. 

Stephen is passionate about creating the same sense of warmth and homeliness with his food.

The conversation and class begins at 10am and concludes with an abundant lunch cooked with Armanda and Stephen at 1pm.

Please bring your own Thermomix or you can you use one with your cooking partner on the day. If you have friends who you'd love to inspire, invite them to book a seat and join in this experience.

Armanda, Stephne and the team at Moonacres looks forward to seeing you soon.
