Nostalgia Festive Pantry

A Nostalgic Aussie Christmas Pantry

8 people max

A nostalgic Christmas cooking class inspired by the homemade treats, family favourites and festive flavours many of us grew up with.

This relaxed, hands-on class is all about recreating that generous Australian Christmas feeling — tins filled with biscuits, rum balls tucked away in the fridge, fruit mince tarts dusted with icing sugar and jars of something delicious ready to bring out when family and friends arrive.

You’ll make a collection of sweet and savoury festive treats, with a few modern twists added along the way. From Aussie Christmas Crunch and buttery cheese shortbreads to salted brittle, chocolate fruit and nut clusters, apricot truffles and an elevated white Christmas along with natural fruit mince tarts and my grandmothers much-loved Weet-Bix rum balls.  Every recipe is designed to feel familiar, comforting and beautifully giftable.

Along the way, we’ll share simple techniques, stories and ideas for packaging and presenting your homemade Christmas treats.

A light lunch and beverages is included.

At the end of the class, you’ll leave with a generous collection ready to gift, share or enjoy at home — a little taste of Christmas nostalgia, made by you.
