The first in Lake House’s ‘Friends of Lake House’ line up this year ~

The ‘Dessert Master’ John Demetrios
Demonstration & Lunch
Sunday 1 June | 10:30am | $495 pp

Born and bred in Melbourne, John’s passion for sweet treats ignited in a humble local bakery. His career took off, sending him around the globe to learn and eventually lead the pastry sections in Michelin-starred kitchens in London, Stockholm, and Amsterdam. Back home, John made his mark as Executive Pastry Chef at Vue de Monde and helped launch restaurants such as Omnia and Yugen Dining.

Crowned Australia’s Dessert Master 2024, John’s latest achievement is the icing on the cake. It’s also the perfect catalyst for his next venture: opening his own bakery in Malvern, set to launch mid-2025.

Join John for a cooking demonstration in the open Cooking School Kitchen at Lake House to learn from a master. If you are in the hospitality industry – you’ll find John’s mastery of his craft to be a show stopper – as he produces two brilliant desserts. If you are a home cook with a passion to know more – you’ll hear John suggesting plenty of ideas on how to implement demonstrated steps into your own domestic repertoire. MC’d by Culinary Director Alla Wolf-Tasker AM, expect plenty of wow moments, tips, tricks and stories.

What better way to celebrate the first day of winter in the company of likeminded travellers than with this extraordinary learning opportunity, followed by a beautiful lunch in the Waterfront Pavillion at Lake House.
