About Oaks Kitchen and Garden
Oaks Kitchen & Garden was created by Ben Wallace and his wife Racheal Boon with the idea of having a Southeast Asian cooking school surrounded by native produce.
Travelling through Thailand and Southeast Asia has been an ongoing adventure that Ben and Rachael share every year.
Ben has spent most of his cooking career around the Melbourne restaurant scene.
He first moved to Melbourne to work at the esteemed Thai restaurant Longrain, where he was the Sou Chef for three years.

Moving to Queensland offered the opportunity to create a piece of Southeast Asia in his own backyard.
Teaming up with his wife, Rachael, they brought their four-acre property up to the garden sanctuary it is today – brimming with native herbs and Southeast Asian fruits and vegetables.
They’ve created a space to not only teach you about the delights of Southeast Asian cooking but to showcase the abundance of produce that Queensland has to offer.
You'll walk away with newly developed skills and inspiration to explore diverse cuisines.
