COME TO THE TABLE

More than a cooking class.

Our Southern Italian cooking experiences are deliberately small, hands-on and generous. The day moves from seasonal cooking and stories into olive oil tasting, thoughtful local wine pairings and a proper Italian-style long lunch where the table fills with dishes and there is time to enjoy them.

Come for the cooking. Stay for the table.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE TABLE

Built from the traditions we grew up with.

We grew up around gardens, kitchens and family tables where food followed the seasons, recipes were passed on by doing, and sitting down together mattered. Back 2 Basics Traditions keeps that spirit moving forward — through the pantry, around the cooking table and wherever we meet people across South Australia.
