Flavours of Fiji

Cooking School

Since embracing culinary tourism, Flavours of Fiji Cooking School, located on Denarau Island, has enjoyed tremendous success in its’ first year of operation.

This unique and innovative tourist activity has been hugely popular with visitors and locals alike. Taught to cook the “Fijian way”, guests are shown the art of cooking traditional local cuisine at their own fully equipped cooking stations.

Offering fun, interactive half day cooking classes in a modern custom design air-conditioned cooking facility, lessons cater to experienced cooks, beginners & children. Classes feature a selection of Fijian Feasts, Indian Thali, Tropical Sweets & Kids Kitchen Menus and operate from Monday to Saturday.

Fiji is a multicultural society and over time cuisine has developed into a diverse, complex and delicious blend of flavours. Menus include traditional favourites showcasing seasonal seafood, root crops, local fruits & vegetables, an exotic array of local style curries, homemade chutneys, fresh tropical juices & local sweets.

Dishes are anchored locally in the seasons and are changed daily ensuring the freshest organic produce is available. With their team starting each day at the local markets sourcing fresh produce, guests enjoy the finest dishes the islands have to offer. All classes are inclusive of a Food Culture Presentation, Cooking Lesson, Lunch, Refreshments & Take Home Recipes.

“Our aim is to showcase delicious local homestyle cuisine to visiting tourists & locals. As we are the only Cooking School of this type in Fiji, we are delighted to offer guests a unique culinary experience whilst showcasing delicious & authentic local dishes. Since opening, we’ve enjoyed wonderful support from the tourism industry and we’re excited about launching our new classes & programs over the upcoming months” said Malisa Raffe, Director.

Using fresh seasonal produce to create island favourites, their cooks share traditional cooking techniques, secrets, helpful hints and entertaining stories, enabling guests to recreate our delicious dishes at home.

In addition to daily scheduled classes, “Hens Party” Packages have been hugely popular in the Wedding Market with the Corporate Events & Incentive Markets enjoying a “MasterCook Style Challenge”, which has proven to be an excellent team building activity. With the versatility of the cooking facility, Flavours of Fiji can cater to specific event requests whether large or small.
