Upcoming Events
I host hands on cooking and preserving workshops, conduct live demonstrations and give presentations at various events and venues throughout Perth, Western Australia.

Workshop Reviews
“Amy is amazing and I have thoroughly enjoyed the two workshops that I have attended.
Her passion, patience and love of what she does shines through. I walked away with a shopping list and new knowledge. I have been busy preserving and pickling and making jams.... and any questions I had were very kindly answered and books recommended to expand my knowledge further.
Thank you Amy for your patience, kindness and enthusiasm.”
— Karri, Perth“Amy’s preserving presentation at a community garden was inspiring; her passion and expertise shone through as she answered every question enthusiastically. I left with a wealth of new knowledge.
I also attended her gnocchi-making workshop, and it was fantastic. Amy’s clear, thorough explanations made replicating the recipe at home a breeze. My family loved it! I highly recommend Amy’s workshops and her content on My Nonna Life!”
