Recent reviews of Authentic Italian Tuscan Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Elizabeth Paulino, attended Sep 2026: Amazing class with Chef Antonella! The food was delicious and we’ve made it at home since then because we wanted the family to experience it too. The class flowed smoothly, we left absolutely stuffed and we had a great sense of achievement after making a full 3-course meal ourselves! Highly recommend - keen to come back for another class.
  • 5/5 from Shane O, attended Aug 2026: Absolutely brilliant. Would recommend to anyone. Clear, easy to follow instructions, great tips on levelling up your cooking, a great teacher and got to meet some other lovely students. Will be back for more!
  • 5/5 from Sarah Michael, attended Aug 2026: Fabulous cooking class. Antonella is a wonderful teacher and she runs a very professional cooking school. My husband and I had so much fun at the Tuscan day and we learnt so much. Will definitely be back and can definitely highly recommend.
  • 5/5 from James Phillips, attended Aug 2026: Chef antonellas class was superb! So informative and east to follow along! Will definitely be booking for another one of the classes!
  • 5/5 from John Hannelly, attended Aug 2026: A fantastic course! I did the Taste of Tuscany. Chef Antonella was amazing. She was well prepared with all ingredients ready for us. She was very knowledge and gave extra tips along the way as she guided us step by step. The finished meal was delicious. I particularly liked the usefulness of the recipes and that they are easily doable to prepare at home.
  • 5/5 from Regina Schultz, attended Jun 2026: Great cooking course with the lovely Antonella. We learnt so much about Italian cooking and the food was amazing. It was a great night.
  • 5/5 from Melora Pallesen, attended Jun 2026: I recently attended the Authentic Italian Tuscan Cooking Class after being gifted a Class Bento voucher. The reviews for Pass the Parmesan spoke for itself. Chef Antonella was terrific and absolutely loved every minute of it. What made the experience so special was the small, intimate group size, which created a warm and personal atmosphere. The class was held in Antonella’s beautifully set-up home, making it feel like you were being welcomed into an Italian family kitchen rather than attending a commercial cooking class. Antonella was an incredible host and teacher. With her many years of experience as a chef and Italian cooking instructor, she shared not only techniques and recipes but also the stories and traditions behind the food. Her instructions were clear, easy to follow, and perfect for those of us who aren’t naturally confident in the kitchen. The menu was fantastic and every dish we made was absolutely delicious. I loved how the class celebrated authentic Italian cooking — simple, quality ingredients transformed into dishes packed with flavour. It was a wonderful reminder that great food doesn’t have to be complicated. The hands-on format meant everyone was involved, and I left feeling inspired and confident to recreate the recipes at home. The whole experience was relaxed, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable from start to finish. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian cooking experience in Sydney, whether you’re a beginner or a passionate home cook, I couldn’t recommend this class more highly. A truly memorable afternoon filled with great food abd great company. I’ll definitely be back for another class! ❤️

Ciao, I’m Antonella and I’m passionate about sharing authentic Italian cooking experiences.
My love for cooking began at the age of seven, cooking alongside my mother. Together, we created a cherished handwritten cookbook filled with recipes and tips she passed down to me. Those early experiences ignited a lifelong passion for sharing the joy of Italian cooking with people like you.
WHY COOK WITH ME?
I bring a unique blend of my Italian heritage and professional chef training to every class. After leaving the corporate world to follow my heart, I trained as a chef at Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School, began selling fresh Italian products at farmers markets, and worked alongside top chefs in restaurants and function centres.
For over 18 years, I’ve been teaching Italian cooking - both online and in-person – helping cooks like you fall in love with good and flavourful Italian food.
Pass the Parmesan Italian Cooking School: Teaching is where my heart lies, and it inspired me to create my very own cooking school. I love inspiring others and sharing my knowledge through fun and interactive classes to master delicious and authentic Italian flavours.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN MY CLASSES:
  • Small class sizes for personal attention
  • Step-by-step guidance so you feel confident every step of the way
  • Authentic Italian recipes that are a joy to make, and even better to eat
  • A friendly, relaxed atmosphere where questions and laughter are always welcome!
Whether you're just starting out or ready to take your cooking skills to the next level, join me to cook, learn and share the joy of Italian food together.
I can't wait to welcome you into my home!
