The date for the second Kimberley Cooking School is 1-5 September, 2009.
Faraway Bay owner Bruce Ellison said the Kimberley Cooking School, held annually in May and featuring one of Australia's top chefs, Chris Taylor, was one of their most popular activities.
"This year's May Kimberley Cooking School was booked out before the end of 2008," said Mr Ellison.
"We had so many enquiries asking if we would stage another one, and we didn't want to disappoint our guests," he said.
The Kimberley Cooking School offers 12 fortunate guests the unique opportunity to learn
tricks, tips and inside secrets from Taylor, who oversees several of Perth's famous eateries including Fraser's, The Bluewater Grill, Indiana Cottesloe Beach and Brewery Bar and Grill.
"It's one of those once in a lifetime experiences that combine wonderful fresh local produce and a fantastically relaxed atmosphere – set in one of the world's truly iconic destinations," said Taylor.
The Kimberley Cooking School takes place in the open-air Eagle Lodge, perched on a headland overlooking the tranquil waters of Faraway Bay.
With no walls, Eagle Lodge is ideally suited to the climate and the spectacular setting which combines guest lounging, croc-spotting, cooking and dining, all in one dramatic location.
"It's like a breath of fresh air – it gets you in touch with the environment, stimulates ideas, and generates initiative in your cooking," said Chris.
The flavour is laid-back and informal with guests able to be as hands on as they please.
There is also plenty of time for excursions and activities including fishing.
Taylor said participants are involved in creating menus, which often focussed on the fresh fish caught that day.
"It could be anything from mackerel steaks, to trevally, the occasional mud crab or that elusive barramundi."
"There are plenty of tastings, ideas, and importantly lots of fun."
