Indulge your tastebuds and learn to cook the most authentic, mouthwatering feast at Heavenly Morsel's authentic biryani cooking class in Melbourne! Envision exotic spices, nuts and saffron cooked with tender slow-braised meat.

Venue Location: Bentleigh East

In this hands-on cooking class, you will learn about the aromatic tantalising cuisine of the royals from a Northern region in India, influenced by the Persian origin rulers. You will learn the centuries-old techniques of cooking each stage of the skillful biryani to perfection as well as other dishes to accompany the dish.

The regal biryani you will be taught in this class was developed in the royal kitchens of the Mughal Empire and does not have a spice overload unlike its variations or modern restaurant versions. When you eat the Heavenly Morsel Biryani, you can actually taste each spice and will not be caught by the pungency of a masala heavy blend. The biryani's stars are the tender meat and perfectly cooked rice!

This is a treasured and coveted recipe, loved and enjoyed over the years by all who have tasted it, and this knowledge can be yours to master.

No matter how many time you attend the same class, you'll learn at least 6 outstanding NEW dishes each time. However, you may choose to try out another Heavenly Morsel masterclass to explore other regions.

On the menu:

  • Royal Chicken Biryani or Royal Tiger Prawn Biryani
  • Stuffed Baby Eggplants
  • Mughlai Beef Kebab Koftas
  • Kachumber Salad
  • Raita for Biryani

----------------------
Before you book pls acknowledge the way we do things..

If you are after a cooking class where you stand behind a bench at your station, cooking a couple of designated recipes from the class menu & just following a chef the whole time, this is not the class for you. Heavenly Morsel's much loved hands-on high detailed class structure, operates very differently, The food you learn at Heavenly Morsel classes, is so high skilled, unique and extraordinary it must be taught in intimate groups where we cook every dish one at a time as a group with my guidance, so everyone goes home feeling confident they have learnt every dish.

Everyone has a contribution by participating in every dish & those who are particularly excited in a specific dish can do more of that one! Plenty of hands on cooking and learning awaits you.

Heavenly Morsel is for those serious about learning interesting and non-common food unike what is taught everywhere else, and from cook books, which is why we spend the full 3.5 hrs cooking a feast and then packing the dishes to take home and enjoy reheated with your family - instead of me teaching you 3-4 items over 2 hrs and spending the rest of the 1 hr sitting and dining.

You will have a taste of each dish as its prepared warm, and also my luxury complimentary grazing board to feast on, provided FREE of charge with a range of mocktails, herbal teas and beverages I prepare for you as a hostess gift. Absolutely nothing is to purchase at Heavenly Morsel, its all provided for free and unlimited!

It truly is a beyond value cooking class and I am very lucky to be in a position to offer this free for all my guests including the other bonuses such as organic produce and a huge number of main dishes in each class, instead of just salads or dips.

Note- Corporate classes and team building activities at Heavenly Morsel feature the seated lunch after the masterclass - this is called the seated lunch masterclass package

What to bring
Absolutely everything and more, is provided at our luxury classes, so do not worry about bringing a thing!

After our class, you will take home all the food we prepare in containers I provide, so you can enjoy the feast with your family / friends at home. Feel free to warm up the food once home if you prefer it hot.

This is the fairest way of ensuring every participant in our intimate class leaves with an equal share of the delicious food (as opposed to some people eating their portions and wanting to take extra home vs those who just want to take their dishes home).

Heavenly Morsel teaches a huge range of main dishes (no salads or dips to fill out menus) hence why we utilise the full 3.5hrs for cooking our unique dishes, as opposed to only 2hrs cooking a couple of dishes, and then dining at the venue for the remainder of the time.

This is much appreciated by all our guests who come to learn our signature dishes as opposed to the ordinary taught dishes elsewhere that don't require a lot of cooking / learning time!

You will also be able to have a taste of all the dishes during the class as things are ready, and at the end as you serve your dishes into the bowls.

Throughout the class you will have my complimentary luxury grazing platter and a range of complimentary beverages to consume, fret not about leaving hungry!
Suitable for

This class is great for individuals and couples as well as for a team building activity, birthday or hens party.

This would also be a nice gift for her, gift for mum, anniversary gift or birthday gift.
