• Wonderful experience with Chef Mel! She is an excellent instructor and I learnt heaps of great new . Found the class filled with professional yet still practical techniques I can do at home! Would recommend and happily attend again (oh, and the food was INCREDIBLE!) tips to take back to my own kitchen easy to follow.  Bettina
• Honestly can’t recommend this place anymore! Had such a great time, learnt some really helpful hints and tricks in such a short period of time that can be transferred into my own kitchen. Staff are lovely and helpful and we really enjoyed the interactive nature of the class with other attendees.  Alyssa
• Thank you Vanilla Zulu for an amazing cooking class! We will now be making pasta every weekend! And going home to sleep off all that delicious food!  Fiona
