More of a fun cooking activity than a class

Shae 31 January 2024

This was a fun activity and it was appropriate for older kids. Many of the steps were prepared in advance to save time and make it simple but this made it a bit more like baking a Betty Crocker box mix cake than cooking from scratch. It was fun but not quite what I expected for a 'cooking class'. The food was great and we took most of it home in provided Tupperware.

Super Sushi

Narelle 1 January 2020

Dylan our chef was very explanatory of all of the dishes, the origin of certain ingredients and skilled at his craft. The food we made was tasty and plenty to take home even after eating what was made. The afternoon went by quickly, with a chilled out atmosphere.

So good!

Luke 16 November 2019

Amazing class lead by the down-to-earth Dylan, who has a comprehensive knowledge of Japanese cooking. The meals were hearty, warm and delicious. We learnt so much about Japanese cooking and it wasn’t too challenging for beginners. Thanks Dylan!

We cooked some really delicious food!

Gemma 24 December 2018

What a fantastic experience! The chef was really knowledgeable, the course was good fun and the food was delicious and simple. Loved every minute of it!

Such an enjoyable afternoon!

Caroline 2 December 2018

I received this experience as a birthday gift so went alone. There were 12 of us in total, a mix of couples and individuals. The chef/teacher was brilliant! Was very clear in his instruction and demonstration. The food was amazing and we all made our own food, with plenty to eat and take home! I would definitely do this again and have recommended it to friends and family already. It was a very enjoyable experience and I have come away with a few new culinary tricks up my sleeve!
