TONYA’S MUSINGS
Tonya Jennings combines her passion for food and cooking with her beachside location on Port Phillip Bay at St Kilda, into developing and operating Cooking on the Bay Cooking School.
At Cooking on the Bay we encourage you to celebrate the richness and diversity that our food offers us and to enjoy cooking for your family and friends. Food plays an important part in our social process and affects our wellbeing. To cook from the heart and share around the table brings so much pleasure and ‘joie de vivre’.
