This session is your secret to a relaxed and delicious holiday season. We'll focus on creating sophisticated dishes that can be prepared well in advance, ready to be whipped out for guests at a moment's notice. You'll master a beautiful spinach roulade with two filling options: a classic smoked salmon or a vibrant cream cheese, spring onion, and almond. We'll also tackle a deboned and stuffed chicken roll, a versatile main course that's as delicious cold as it is hot. To accompany it, we'll toss a baby spinach, walnut, and crispy bacon salad with a tangy homemade blue cheese dressing. For dessert, an apricot and cream-filled hazelnut meringue cake that is pure elegance.

The Story

Hi, I'm Tanya, and On The Table (OTT) is more than just a name—it's my personal philosophy. I believe the real magic of food happens when we gather to share it, connecting over a table filled with fresh, beautiful dishes.

My passion for this began in my mother's kitchen and soon grew into my own family catering business. Life then took me on a different path for thirty years, but my love for cooking never left—it just quietly simmered in the background.

Today, I am overjoyed to have come full circle, returning to my true calling: growing and cooking wholesome food straight from my garden.

My garden is my inspiration and my pantry. While my cooking style is rooted in Mediterranean flavours, I also find so much joy in exploring the spices of Indian and Indonesian cuisine.

On The Table is my invitation to you. I want to welcome you into my kitchen, to get your hands on beautiful, seasonal produce, and to build your confidence to create with joy.

I can't wait to share my table with you.
