Jen – Attended this class and had a great time. Chef Mel is a bundle of entertainment and knowledge. Plenty of food, including goodies to take home (make sure you take a few containers along). I particularly appreciated that everyone contributes to every recipe so lots of learning. We’re already booked in for our next class. Definitely recommend!

Beatriz & Glenn – I purchased this for my partners birthday. We had a great time! Chef Luciana was a great teacher. She demonstrated and explained things well and was very patient when we all needed help at once! 😆
The other participants were also fun and the whole evening was very enjoyable. The portions are generous and the food plentiful. We bought left overs home. The recipes are simple and will be easy to replicate at home… no fancy stuff needed! Would highly recommend and look forward to doing another course in the near future, thanks for a great night! Beatriz & Glenn

Scott – Very friendly and everything was catered for. Relaxed cooking class and we learnt a lot as well. Looking forward to cooking for our friends.

Your cooking class begins with a heart-warming welcome, introduction and chat with your fellow budding chefs. Then pop on your apron, get into the kitchen and start cooking. You will work in small groups of about two on a table of four as your Chef guides you step by step. In this class you will learn the tricks and tips to making Italian favourites including arancini, gnocchi and cannoli! This class is fun, informative and will teach you how to produce stunning authentic Italian dishes that are steeped in tradition and flavour!

Class Terms & Conditions
