Something old, something new. That's what Danielle Alvarez, Culinary Director at Sydney Opera House, will be bringing to this hotly anticipated class, with recipes from her current book, Recipes for a Lifetime of Beautiful Cooking, and a sneak peek at her new book, to be published in early 2026.

Danielle's philosophy in this book is not about big proteins and expensive cuts; instead, she focuses on how to make the best use of stunning pantry ingredients, a well-stocked herb garden, and a selection of beautifully fresh produce.
