Thomas – Probably like most other people, I came here for a cooking class gift and not to improve my culinary skills – I was happily surprised! Chef Elle looked after us for the night and she clearly has a pedagogical gift. A lot of things were pre-prepared including the dicing and the sauce but we still had our work cut out for us because our recipes required focus, skill and taking the occasional risk. Fortunately, anything that went wrong was easily fixed by chef Elle and she gave us all great information along the way.

Class format. Vanilla Zulu Cooking Classes are a mixture of demonstration and group cooking practices. Instead of individual work stations, students will work in pairs and cook in groups of 4. And afterwards, enjoy a feast of the meals prepared. Demonstration aspects of classes ensure we cover enough content to make you into a fabulous chef. We do not believe in making you peel carrots or chop onions!
Maria – Excellent Cooking School 5 stars!! Super organised and professional and flexible for dietary requirements. I have completed two classes so far and will be booking more this year. Also, great with groups.
Lacey – I have completed two cooking classes at VZ. Both have been loads of fun, educational and more importantly delicious! The chefs are incredibly talented and humorous. Would certainly recommend this school to anyone.
Carla – Great cooking experience, very well organised and lovely Chef Lucy was fabulous. Looking forward to the next class.
