Discover why our exclusive chef’s table dining events showcase the best of South Australian cuisine and hospitality
At Sticky Rice Cooking School, we’re passionate about hands-on cooking classes that teach authentic Asian cuisine. But twice a year, we transform our Adelaide cooking school into an intimate fine dining destination, welcoming renowned South Australian chefs for exclusive chef’s table experiences that celebrate our state’s incredible culinary talent.
Our recent evening with Jordan Theodoros, co-owner of the acclaimed Peel St Restaurant, perfectly exemplified what makes these special dining events so extraordinary.
Unlike our regular hands-on cooking classes, these exclusive dining experiences allow our guests to sit back, relax, and be pampered by our incredible culinary team. It’s fine dining Adelaide-style, where South Australia’s most talented chefs showcase their signature dishes in our intimate cooking school setting.
Jordan Theodoros brought his renowned expertise in Asian-Mediterranean fusion cuisine to create a menu that highlighted the best of South Australian ingredients and wine pairings.
From arrival, guests experienced the unique energy of our chef’s table setting. Our cooking school kitchen buzzed with anticipation as wine flowed and food enthusiasts gathered for an unforgettable culinary journey. Jordan’s warm hospitality and behind-the-scenes insights made every guest feel part of something truly special.
Jordan’s menu celebrated his signature style – a sophisticated fusion of Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean flavours using premium South Australian ingredients. Each dish was expertly paired with local wines, creating a true taste of South Australia.

These exclusive dining experiences represent the pinnacle of South Australian hospitality. While our cooking classes focus on hands-on learning, our chef’s table events celebrate the artistry of established culinary masters. Jordan didn’t just prepare exceptional food – he shared his passion, techniques, and the stories behind each creation.
This personal connection between chef and diner, combined with our intimate cooking school setting, creates dining experiences that Adelaide’s food scene rarely offers elsewhere.
Our partnership with Jordan Theodoros spans an incredible 17 years, making these events a beloved tradition for Adelaide food enthusiasts. This long-standing relationship ensures our guests experience not just a meal, but a celebration of South Australian culinary evolution.
While Jordan’s 2025 chef’s table events have concluded, we’re already planning spectacular dining experiences for 2026. These exclusive events book quickly among Adelaide’s food lovers, so early registration is essential.
