Fire up the soul with our stunning feast-worthy dishes from the various regions of India - perfectly curated into menus for this seasonal event.An Indian Thali ("plate") is a complete meal with rice, bread, vegetables, lentils, and a sweet dish. All are served on a single platter, in this case a jumbo banana leaf.Banana leaves are not for aesthetic, or design - they are highly nutritious. Serving hot food on banana leaves enhances nutritional value as the heat releases antioxidants and essential nutrients, promoting better digestion and immune health. They also possess natural antibacterial properties that can help in reducing the risk of bacterial infections, the list of benefits is endless.Calling all Melbourne foodies!

Before you proceed booking please acknowledge the way we do things as explicitly advertised..​​Heavenly Morsel is my passion project & gift for Australia's foodies, not a business or commercial cooking school.An exorbitant amount of time & money is spent on each class whilst keeping our price relatively low & affordable for all. ​•To preserve our high standard of learning, I have generously chosen to limit group sizes to just 8 guests per class for your benefit. This ensures personal attention, a relaxed environment, and the time & space to truly engage with each dish -something large or commercial classes simply can’t offer.At Heavenly Morsel, we teach a feast of easy, yet high-caliber dishes in an intimate group setting. Guests cook together, sharing tasks to ensure everyone is hands-on with every dish.No demonstrations in a crowded room —just immersive, practical learning.Because of the nature and large number of recipes in each class, as well as the fact that this is a group cooking class, it's not feasible for each guest to stand at their own 'station' and cook everything solo - but you will participate in every dish, and go home with generous portions of our entire feast, feeling confident and inspired.If you prefer to cook every single dish yourself without group collaboration, we kindly recommend booking a private session. However, our guests consistently state that Heavenly Morsel offers the most engaging & generous hands-on experience in Australia—especially in terms of the number of dishes taught for such a small group size of just 8 people.•Our signature classes are designed for serious food lovers who want to learn authentic, uncommon Indian recipes you won’t find circulating social media, tv, or elsewhere. Which is why we proudly dedicate the full 4 hours to cooking, before neatly packing up your feast to enjoy relaxed at home.Our guests are incredibly grateful & surprised with this generous amount of hands on teaching time and portion sizes at Heavenly Morsel.•​Because you're entering my home for this special culinary experience, you're welcomed not just as a participant, but as a guest and friend. You'll be treated to a luxurious complimentary grazing board, along with a selection of mocktails and beverages—prepared with care as a hostess gift, offered at my discretion.These generous inclusions, and the elevated experience you'll enjoy, are unique to Heavenly Morsel and offered at no extra cost—something not found anywhere else in Australia.I look forward to sharing my passion with you and hope you truly enjoy this intimate, one-of-a-kind masterclass.After A Seated Lunch Too? - Corporate classes, Private bookings and Seasonal events at Heavenly Morsel feature the full seated lunch after the masterclass - which you can book in.  Read more details
