We attended our first cooking class taste of Asia experience Last night for our 3rd anniversary .. Something a little different from our normal going out to eat .. We arrived and I can’t lie was unsure what we would experience. Was paired up into groups of 3 and taken into the kitchen . Where we were given our recipes and given time to chat amongst our group a little ice breaker to chat amongst ourselves .. A team leader is appointed by the group and little prep jobs divided up Some of the prep already done for you which def helps given the time frame and amount of dishes you are preparing. We had a absolute ball with our cooking and preparation our group worked really well together and prepared some amazing and tasty dishes which we got to eat .. was delicious and lots of fun... our teacher yuki was easy to talk to had great knowledge of cooking and enjoyed some humour.. all in all highly recommended and will definitely be back .. seen some review said he didn’t get to eat the food :/ not sure what he smoking but definitely ignore stupid and give it a try You won’t be disappointed :) Thanks guys see you next time
5. The Stirling Market

The Stirling Market is a friendly and vibrant event, in a charming Adelaide Hills village. Highlights include local coffee roaster (Roasted On) as well as the Japanese Street Food (Kokochi). Some things to note: It’s the most popular market in the hills (by far) but parking is limited for Adelaide standards. However, you can park in the side streets easily and you won’t be more than a 5 minute walk away. It will get crowded between about 11am and 1pm. The best time to visit is at 10am before it is busy and while vendors still have stock. On very busy days many vendors will sell out early. There are actually two different markets. This review is for the “Stirling Market” which is on Druid Avenue. The other market is the “Stirling Laneways Market” which is in the many other parts of the village. They are both on the same day of the month which is the 4th Sunday of the month (remember this is not always the last Sunday of the month). The Laneways Market is not on during Winter when the weather can be cold and raining but the Stirling Market is on all year round. So if you want to see the Stirling Market on quieter days, then wait for a really wet day and head up there! The stall holders are about 80% the same each market and then about 20% different. It’s not a farmers market, so you won’t see lots of fruit and veg. There is fantastic food to eat at the market, and the food you would take home will be more like condiments, chocolate, coffee beans, granola and wine. It’s a fantastic place to get gifts, including handmade cards. There’s local wood carvings, custom shoes, paintings and other artwork and lots more. One of the best things about the market is the location. You can happily spend an hour at the market and then go to the local pub (The Stirling is good, but you could go a little bit down the road and go to The Crafers which is better). If it’s a nice you could to take a walk through the Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens (amazing in Spring and Autumn). On a cold day you could go across the road to Red Cacao for a hot chocolate. On a sunny day you could drive around the corner and have a drink and some cheese at Deviation Rd Winery. There’s also lots of great walking trails in the area, either in Cleland National Park, or the Belair National Park which is lesser known and so you’ll see hardly anyone there. So to wrap up, the Stirling Market is absolutely worth visiting, and if you pair it up with some other activities in the area you’ll have more than enough to fill out a day with fun activities.
