Learn to Cook the Perfect Steak

I have no idea why you are asking me to review a class I didn't attend because of Lockdown.

Ruby Jehu • Jul 2021

This was a really enjoyable and relaxed learning class! Ben was a great teacher! I learnt so much about cooking steak, the perfect mash potato and how to make an amazing red wine jus. I will definitely be cooking these recipes again. Highly recommend!

Amanda Phillpotts • Jul 2021

Shane was funny, willing to share his experience to all. Great produce , excellent afternoon . Enjoyed by all of us.

South American BBQ Cooking Class (Marrickville)

The course was great and had a lot of fun. Food was great and the instructions were easy to follow. Received the receipe book via email which was helpful. The class was mainly held outside and being in Canberra it was freezing so made it a little bit uncomfortable.

Wayland Howard • Jun 2021

I thought this class was really good value for money. We learnt some great tips and ate some delicious food. We found both teachers to be very professional and clearly knowledgeable in their field. I would recommend taking this class for a fun and interesting introduction to south American BBQ cooking.

Jennifer Suen • Jun 2021

Bought this as an anniversary gift for my husband as he has recently been interested in Smoking meat as a hobby. I went along as a fun event to enjoy together and learn a bit about hubby's hobby. There was not very much hands on experience. Mainly just watching the chef explain the process. Would have liked to be more involved with preparation. otherwise food was great, left feeling full. wish we could receive the recipes for all the dishes that were made. given the time of day and season, it got dark very quickly so outdoor lighting or heating + more

Beer and Smoke BBQ Cooking Class: Marrickville

Good personalities and communicators. BUT all of us were beginner smokers and would have benefited from much more technical details about the smoking process. Briquettes vs coal. Do you add coal if the temp drops?. What if it gets too hot? What does smoke do to meat? Can you have too much smoke? Are there easy and difficult cuts? There are different shape and size smokers, what do they do. Then show us the meat prep, then the half way wrap then give us a feed. I enjoyed the day but could have learned a lot more.

Robert Kamai • May 2021

Everything was super amazing! Very informativeBen and John shared a lot of their wealth of knowledge. The whole team was super amazing, constantly checking on all participants. We did find this class very helpful. We will definitely do another class. If you are looking for a perfect gift for someone who likes hands on activities. This is it

American Smoking BBQ Cooking Class (Marrickville)

We found it didn’t teach us anything we didn’t already know however made new friends which made it all worth it.

Denzil Saldanha • Apr 2021

BBQ school really shines at teaching you skills you need to ace barbequeing at home. The class was really fun and interactive. Ben is a really amazing teacher and does keep the session quite interesting. Would definitely recommend this class! Planning on taking a couple more of classes from them to build up on my bbq skills

Gerard • Apr 2021

What a great afternoon. Scott and Steph made us feel very welcome while we waited for others to arrive. They answered questions all afternoon and got everyone involved at some point. The food they prepared and shared with us was amazing and gave us a bar to strive for. The information that Scott passed on cleared up many questions that I had and I can’t wait to put it into practice. This class + more

Richard Wyche • Apr 2021

Great instructor who explained everything clearly. No question was too simple or too complicated. The food was fantastic and we learned a lot of simple tricks to improve our cooking. Loved the whole experience and would recommend it to anyone.

Rosanne Burkhart • Apr 2021

Picked up some exceptional tips on bbq seafood. Ross and team gave us an excellent time and lovely meal to complete the afternoon.

Clare Thomas • Apr 2021

Bought these tickets for my husband, who loves barbecuing. Good presentation and explanation on how to prepare the foods. The teachers were happy to answer everyone questions. Lovely way to spend a few hours, especially as you get to eat the delights of the afternoon BBQ class.

Michael Handley • Mar 2021

This course was great, and if you like your bbq's then it is highly recommended. 3 instructors, 2 of which were qualified chefs. Fully explained everything and made it simple to understand and follow. The course was held at the German Harmonie Club at Narrabundah, ACT, and was quite suitable, with all weather facilities. We got a handout covering everything we did to take home with us. This was certainly good value for money. Now to do some low and slow cooking/smoking at home.

Maria Aram • Mar 2021

It was supposed to be an enjoyable birthday gift for my husband but didn't live up to the expectations and previous reviews. 25 people in the class and a function next to them so they could hardly hear anything. Plus there wasn't actual lessons to be learnt. Definitely not worth the price I guess. I feel bad for gifting him such a less than ordinary experience.

Glenn Stroud • Mar 2021

Great teacher who was able to provide us with his wealth of experience. The food prepared was sensational.

Louise Rheinberger • Mar 2021

Fantastic teacher, knowledgeable, funny, thorough and delivered the information in a logical fashion. I would have liked some coleslaw with the meal but it had run out by the time I got my meal. Not a huge issue!

Allison Smith • Mar 2021

All was good. Teacher spent a lot of time answering everyone’s questions in detail. Wasn’t rushed, good timing.

Jess Torpey • Feb 2021

Food was great, teacher was fun and approachable. Would recommend if you are interested in American style BBQ

Stephanie Kijurina • Feb 2021

The class was really informative and the teacher was fab however we didn't get any recipes which we were told we would receive at the end! I attended today's class (Stephanie) so if I could get them please, that would be great. Thank you.

Jason Bastide • Feb 2021

Beer and Smoke BBQ Cooking Class: Centennial Park

Great value for money, teacher/chef was very approachable and willing to share info, tips and tricks. Good facilities, good length class. Very happy and warm environment. Very much enjoyed myself.

Bryan McLennan • Feb 2021

Seafood BBQ Cooking Class

Shane was obviously very experienced and knowledgable about food and liked to share this knowledge. This meant we went over time to finish the day. This was not a problem for me but it could be for some. The facility was perfect for a BBQ class but the toilets were disgraceful. Obviously no-one had checked them before the class started. I loved being greeted with a beer on arrival.

Annemarie Hunt • Feb 2021

The set up was great! Had plenty of different options for smokers. Great presentation and explanation on how to prepare the foods. Also, very personable with the class, answering everyone’s questions.

Jessica Kane • Feb 2021

Fantastic class! Learnt a lot about smoking meats and ate some of the best brisket I've ever had Would highly recommend for anyone at any level of smoking. The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. I'm still full. :)

Mary Ferris • Jan 2021

Chef was excellent. Included everyone. Learnt lot’s including how to trim the meat . Lunch was amazing

Class was good fun. Teachers had a good sense of humour, I learned how to cook a whole chicken and enjoyed one of the best cooked steaks I've had in ages. Will definitely be trying the other classes to have something fun to do on the weekend while picking up a few cooking tips

Dwayne Beale • Jan 2021

Great location and value for money. Was very hands on for those participants who wanted to involve themselves in this aspect of the class and of course, the food was great.

Laura Suter • Jan 2021

My fiancé and I enjoyed this class and learnt a lot about American Smoking! Thank you for putting on this experience!

Annemarie Casey • Jan 2021

Beer and Smoke BBQ Cooking Class: Centennial Park

I really enjoyed the seafood BBQ course. The course was very informative with a good mix of demonstration and hands on practice. The food was also really tasty. I also learnt a lot which I am confident I can use at home on my own BBQ.

Annika Waugh • Dec 2020

Teacher was great! Super knowledgeable. Food was awesome! Not as hands on as I thought it would be, and you only get 1 drink before they start charging you $8 per drink.

Ben Campbell • Dec 2020

Very worthwhile and informative on all things smoking. Teacher was excellent. It is a highly recommended experience.

Kurt Forrester • Nov 2020

Beer and Smoke BBQ Cooking Class: Centennial Park

Katrina Gould • Oct 2020

Not very hands on at all. Equally nothing new to learn. This is a class for someone who does not cook at all and hasn’t even picked up a piece of seafood! Made 1 salad that was really just lettuce leaves, some fennel, grapefruit and balsamic. But wait for itthe prawn skewers was just some curry paste with yoghurt and coriander. Didn’t even make our own curry paste! Teacher was disorganised and did not have everything at hand. Do not recommend and would not do a class of any sort from that venue again.

Tony Liddy • Sep 2020

I thought the hosting by Seamus was fantastic - he was good with people and quite funny. The location and venue were great. The aprons were NAF - not worth keeping - an opportunity missed if it's a good apron, will be worn later and other people see the branding. I was a little disappointed by the content. The overall plan of what we were to learn was sound, but it was less hands-on than I expected. More of a demonstration and tasting than a lesson.

Emma Hamilton • Sep 2020

BBQ and Beer Cooking Class (Centennial Park)

Funny - loved it- great knowledge, learned a lot thank you, had a very fun time and food was yummy

Stacey Jenneke • Aug 2020

Cooking class

Seamus was a lot of fun, knew his stuff and is the ideal teacher for this kind of class.

Patricia Murtha • Mar 2020

He engages so easily - enjoyable and learned more techniques also felt much more home like than other places i ve taken classes in which are academic and formal and teacher student show and tell but not engaging so this wonderful session resonated thank you the teachers were from Malta and Ireland TED AND GEORGE and it was SEAFOOD BARBEQUE IN CENTENNIAL PARK .

Patricia Troll • Feb 2020

Absolutely fun day and highly recommend booking in. The teacher and facilitators are fantastic, everyone is relaxed and it created the perfect atmosphere for all attendees to chill out and learn something new; before enjoying some delicious food.

Steve Curran • Feb 2020

The team were fantastic, it was fun, entertaining and we got to sample a range of different smoked meats and how to smoke them. I’m much more prepared to attempt American style smoking at home.

Suzie Karkoulas • Jul 2019

Great class, the teacher and team were engaging, humorous explained everything clearly so we could follow the recipes. My three friends and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. We will be coming back for another class by the BBQ school in a few weeks.
