Super fun and engaging French cooking class!

Renie 28 January 2024

We didn’t know what to expect when I booked this but Brett was an amazing instructor! He was very knowledgeable and provided handy tips throughout the class. Food preparation was simple and he timed it perfectly so all 3 courses would be finished at the same time. We were allocated the ‘blue’ menu (I would recommend checking out their website Sydney Cooking School for the options). The twice baked goats cheese souffle was lovely, the lamb rump with ratatouille and Parisian mash was splendid (my fav course) and perfect chocolate fondant. Be aware it does get quite warm inside and smokey but overall great experience!

French Classics Cooking Class

Stuart 2 October 2023

Thoroughly enjoyable experience with a great group of like-minded people of all ages. The class was fun and very informative. The class was very professionally run. It ran on time and according to the schedule as outlined in the email I received from Red Balloon The instructor, an experienced chef, effortlessly broke down each recipe into a series of easy-to-follow steps. The result was a brilliant meal which we had all prepared. As a result, I am interested in the other classes run by the Sydney Cooking School.

Best cooking course we've ever done

James 31 August 2023

Such a great evening! We fought through the rain and storms and it was totally worth it. Paul who was running the course is so knowledgeable and speaks so calmly and shares so much of the wealth of his knowledge. The food was absolutely divine and you'd be challenged to find a better meal anywhere, it was that good! We had such a great night and can't wait to do another course with Paul

The French Cooking Class was simply amazing

Peter Buxton 31 August 2023

This cooking experience was just outstanding. Our Chef Paul was very knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to pitch the instructions to a suitable level of understanding which made all of us feel very comfortable. Time went very quickly and there was so much quality food to eat at the end. An optional glass of red wine was also a very nice touch. Overall, this experience was fantastic and very much appreciated.

Expectations exceeded!
