Exceptional cooking experience!

Sally 23 February 2026

If you love Italian food, this is an amazing experience. The food was delicious; Anna and Tony were fabulous showing us how to cook and giving us a beautiful wine tasting in between. Would absolutely book again for the other classes, would even get a group of 8 friends together to do it all together in future. Can't wait to try out my skills at home!

An great introduction to Italian cooking and pasta

Martin 15 April 2024

Anna, our host and teacher took us through making pasta sheets, ravioli filling and assembly, making pasta sauce and bolognaise, traditional lasagne and gnocchi. And all in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. A great morning and of course lunch, including wine from the Billanook estate. After the class I feel confident that I can make these dishes again.
