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!

What To Expect in the Class
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 authentic dishes, made from scratch! This class is fun, informative and will teach you how to produce delicious and nutritious dishes that are steeped in tradition and flavour!
Class Terms & Conditions
NO REFUNDS ON BOOKINGS – but we do have a very generous rescheduling package, please check your invoice for details or visit our FAQ page.
Vanilla Zulu is usually booked out for several weeks in advance, late changes have an impact and we can’t always find replacement participants at short notice. Staff rosters and food are prepared in advance of each class. These rules are designed to protect our business, but also to ensure if something does come up, you and your friends don’t miss out on a great experience.
A minimum of 8 guests is required for the class to go ahead, in the event we don’t reach these numbers we will contact you in advance to reschedule your booking.
Please note: The menu is based on available seasonal produce and is subject to change at the experience provider’s discretion. You will work and cook together as a team, and shared a workspace and the kitchen equipment with other participants. A group cooking session with partial group participation is the most effective and fun way to add to your cooking skills.
To ensure the class finishes on time some elements of the dishes are demonstrated.

Questions
What do you cook in A Taste of the Mediterranean Cooking Class?
Pack your culinary passport – we’re heading straight to the sun-soaked Mediterranean! You’ll prepare house-made lavosh, honey-baked camembert with pistachio and cumin dust, sweet potato and speck-stuffed spatchcock with truffle butterbean purée and sweet Baklava Cigars. The menu may vary depending on seasonal produce.

Absolutely. You don't need a sea breeze or years of kitchen experience to master these flavours! Working in friendly pairs and small groups, our chef guides you through every stir, chop and sear. You’ll build big-flavour confidence and leave with skills that make everyday home cooking feel like a holiday.
Can I recreate Mediterranean flavours at home after the class?
Yes. You’ll receive a recipe book to help you recreate the dishes and techniques you learn during the class. For more inspiration, try our crispy shredded halloumi salad with kale, which explores another combination of Mediterranean-inspired flavours and ingredients.
