Menu Planning involves creativity, innovation, and attention to detail. At Chef Esto, we work with our clients to to create unique and memorable dishes for their event. It's important to consider not only the flavours but also the presentation, texture, and overall dining experience. Menu planning also involves taking into account the dietary restrictions and preferences of guests, while still maintaining the integrity and creativity of the dishes. It's a constant process of learning, adapting, and refining, and ultimately, the satisfaction of seeing guests enjoy the results of your hard work makes it all worthwhile.

Event planning involves a combination of creativity, organisation, and attention to detail. It's about understanding the needs and preferences of clients, guests, and vendors, and bringing all the elements together to create a seamless and unforgettable experience. This includes everything from venue selection and decor to catering, entertainment, and logistics.

As part of any event, we can develop a signature cocktail/s. It’s not only about crafting unique and memorable drinks that taste great but also reflect the style and personality of the establishment or event. This can involve experimenting with different spirits, mixers, herbs, and fruits to create a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and bitter flavours. Presentation is also important, as a well-crafted cocktail can be as visually stunning as it is delicious. A signature cocktail should be something that guests will remember long after the event or night out has ended, and can even become a defining feature of the venue or brand.

A skilled cooking teacher creates a comfortable and supportive environment that empowers their students to learn, experiment, and ultimately develop their own culinary skills. We’re passionate about sustainability and developing appreciation for food systems. Our classes and workshops developed for schools and corporate workshops, go beyond demonstrating how to cook a dish. We look at developing students’ understanding of the ingredients, techniques, and tools used in the kitchen. Our cooking classes involve teaching not only the recipe but also the underlying principles and skills needed to create it. This means breaking down each step and explaining the reasoning behind it. It also requires patience, clear communication, and the ability to adapt to different learning styles.
