Italians are masters of understated culinary art. Their foods are rich in strong flavours and seasoned with gorgeous fresh herbs. Now is your chance to learn the techniques behind creating simple yet delicious dishes that will wow your friends and family.

Your cooking class begins with a heart warming welcome and an 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 as the Chef guides you step by step. In this class you will learn the tricks and tips to making the perfect pasta dough, delicious ravioli filling and roasted capsicum sauce. On top of that, you will also have the opportunity to learn an Italian sweet dish - the fabulously light and refreshing Panna Cotta.

This is fun, informative and will teach you how to produce stunning authentic Italian dishes that are steeped in tradition and flavour! Please note: The menu is based on available seasonal produce and is subject to change at the experience provider's discretion. Pasta is not Gluten Free. You will not have your own personal kitchen and work space; instead you will work and cook together as a team, and share 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. Some dishes will be hands on, but to speed up the session there will be some dishes that are only demonstrated!

My daughter gifted us this class as a wedding gift. My husband and I had a fabulous time learning to cook pasta together. The three courses we cooked were very easy and also extremely tasty! We would definitely do another class together in the future. Thank you Chef Luka we had so much fun 😊

JonPaul 7 January 2022

Had the best time I love to cook so this was good insight on techniques for myself, head chef made everyone feel welcome and was so lovely. Definitely recommend doing the rustic Italian class, as well as all the other ones.

Not as good as last time

Amelia 19 November 2021

I attended this same class pre-COVID with Mel and had a great time - it was very generous and well worth the price. Unfortunately it seems like there were some cut backs - we did not cook all meals that were promised (no gnocchi) and there was less ability to be creative with flavours/ingredients. All that said - it was still a very enjoyable evening and the food was ok.

Great teacher, easy recipes, amazing food

Lynn 12 November 2021

The Rustic Italian Cooking class at Vanilla Zulu was amazing. The teacher was great, very knowledgeable, charismatic and engaging. The recipes were to easy to follow and simple steps and the end result of the food was delicious. Will definitely make the food again at home!

Had an absolute blast with my son in law in this cooking class. Head chef Ada was fantastic, warm, knowledgeable and very engaging. Food we cooked was delicious and got to bring leftovers home.
