About the tutor

Daxa Chauhan

Chef • Educator • Culinary Storyteller

With more than 35 years in the hospitality world, I bring more than just recipes to the table.  I bring stories, flavours, and the wisdom gathered from a lifelong love of food. From running cafés and restaurants to leading catering companies and function centres, every experience has shaped the way I cook, teach, and connect with others today.

For the past 15 years, I’ve dedicated my passion to teaching, creating hands-on workshops that celebrate the joy of cooking.  My sessions are about discovery, creativity, and confidence in the kitchen. Together, we explore traditional and modern flavours, share techniques and tips, food safety, hygiene and most importantly, enjoy every moment of the journey.

Each workshop is filled with laughter, learning, and connection. It’s not just about cooking, it’s about bringing people together through food and inspiring you to create dishes that tell your story, made with love and heart.
