ACCESS
Join Tess Stomski as she brings the philosophy of washoku to life — preparing a carefully curated selection of seasonal Japanese dishes while sharing insights into the balance of flavour, technique, and seasonality that defines Japan’s culinary heritage. Guests will experience the precision, simplicity, and depth of Japanese cooking firsthand, engaging in conversation about its cultural significance, sustainability, and timeless appeal — all while enjoying an intimate dining experience.
Cooking With Tess forms part of Swensk’s marketplace of makers. For four days Swenk’s clients take centre stage as creators, designers, and entrepreneurs. The Clever People Market is an opportunity to explore and purchase artisanal goods, fashion, design objects, and creative services — all crafted by the very people who shop at Swensk and share its values of functionality, quality, longevity, and thoughtful design.
