Boroondara has four well-known markets where you can buy and sell arts and crafts or hunt through trash and treasure. Love to cook? Pick up farm fresh produce direct from growers at our farmer's markets.

Would you like to learn new recipes and cooking skills in a relaxed and friendly environment? Then our Men's Kitchen "five ingredient cooking lessons" with Lucia would be perfect for you!

Everything is provided and the recipes can be flexible with what the group would like to try. We then enjoy the fruits of our labour as a group for lunch, followed by some of our Lucia's famous espresso.

Some of our recent creations are:
• Pasta two ways with apple crumble biscuits
• Cous cous salad with tiramisu
• Paella with steamed puddings

The class is open to six people at a time and runs fortnightly on Thursdays from 11am-2pm.
