Master some of your favourite comfort foods with Italian cooking classes

Italian Cooking class

If you love nothing more than tucking into a hearty bowl of pasta, or feasting on slices of pizza fresh from the oven, then you should definitely put your name down for a few Italian cooking classes and learn to cook the traditional way. Whether you live in Sydney, Perth, or Adelaide, there is sure to be a workshop within easy reach, where you can tie your apron, don your chef’s hat and prepare to make some carb-ilicious concoctions!

Join us for a delightful pasta making class where you can discover the art of creating mouthwatering Italian dishes from scratch. Our talented instructor will personally walk you through each and every step of the pasta making process and you'll learn the secrets behind crafting rich and flavourful sauces from scratch. Learn how to select the freshest herbs and ingredients, allowing you to create delicious and authentic sauces that truly take your pasta dishes to the next level.

On the other hand, you may like to opt for a pizza making class, which will teach you how to make the perfect base! It won’t be long before you are kneading, stretching and tossing your own handcrafted pizza dough and then layering it with fresh sauce and your favourite toppings. Once it’s ready, your pizza will go into the oven to bake and at the end of the workshop, you and your fellow classmates will get to sit down to a delicious feast you prepared yourselves. Now that beats a frozen pizza any day!

Savour the exotic flavours of the East

Imagine the joy of being able to recreate the mouthwatering dishes from your favourite Asian restaurants right in your own kitchen. The fragrant aromas and vibrant flavours that transport you to China, Thailand, and Vietnam can now be created by your own hands with these tasty cooking classes. You'll have the opportunity to learn and master the art of cooking authentic Asian cuisine. From stir-fries bursting with exotic spices to delicate dumplings that melt in your mouth, our experienced instructors will guide you every step of the way.

Do you just love Thai food? If so, then put your name down for a Thai cooking class, and you will soon be well on your way to mastering some of Thailand’s most mouth-watering dishes. An experienced and enthusiastic chef will patiently guide you through the preparation of sumptuous recipes.

They will talk you through the ingredients and explain the principles of Thai cooking, which relies on a carefully orchestrated balance of flavours – whether sweet, salty, sour or spicy. Soon, you’ll be able to whip up a fresh Som Tam salad or a creamy and coconutty Tom Kha soup that will have your friends begging you for the recipe. 

If you're a fan of sushi, these Japanese cooking classes are the perfect place for you. You'll have the chance to learn expert sushi making techniques, and whether you prefer nigiri or spicy tuna rolls, you'll absolutely love the experience of crafting your own sushi from scratch.

Bake some sweetness into your life
