At Heavenly Morsel, we don’t believe in shortcuts – only in quality, flavour, and unforgettable experiences. This beautifully curated beginner class is your gateway into Indian cuisine, designed for those who crave confidence in the kitchen, even with zero prior experience.
You’ll learn to prepare five essential dishes that together form a stunning, restaurant-worthy Indian feast:
  • A velvety, spice-rich chicken curry
  • Succulent, marinated grilled meat
  • A deeply nourishing dahl, slow-simmered to perfection
  • A vibrant, indulgent paneer dish
  • And a fragrant rice pilaf to tie it all together
At Heavenly Morsel, we use only the highest quality premium ingredients, including organic meats and local Victorian produce – because flavour begins at the source. Our menus are exceptionally generous and incredibly diverse, making this the best value Indian cooking class in Australia.
Your cooked portions alone are worth half the class ticket price, not to mention the 4-hour in-depth culinary education, expert guidance, and luxury inclusions that go far beyond the basics.
Each dish also freezes perfectly, making this experience ideal for both elegant dinner parties and practical meal prep.
Perfect for absolute beginners or those lacking confidence, this masterclass is a warm, immersive introduction to the magic of Indian cuisine – led with heart, precision, and a touch of indulgence.

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-calibre 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.

Welcome to Australia’s Top Spice Cooking School – Heavenly Morsel Melbourne run by Australia's Spice Queen & Event Presenter Tanya Carneiro.
A luxury, unforgettable cooking class experience which brings to light, the complex & highly sophisticated cuisine of Regional Indian Cuisine.
With over 300 signature, authentic dishes you will learn the art of Indian cuisine and cooking with spices.
Heavenly Morsel procures only premium organic produce, wild caught seafood, organic meats and the country’s finest ingredients – at no extra cost to you.
It takes near a lifetime, to master the intricate art of cooking with Indian spices. Every seed, spice & grain has its purpose, a balancing act of complex & specific spices form every dish. Nothing is added for ‘aesthetic’.
Every dish you learn at Heavenly Morsel is complex & compelling- oscillating between the dynamic flavours of regions across the subcontinent.
Heavenly Morsel is a ONE cuisine specialist cooking school for all individuals who consider themselves a passionate cook, foodie, culinary aficionado or just zealous about sensational sumptuous food.
Tanya proudly opened Heavenly Morsel Melbourne, with the vision of bringing authentic Regional Indian cooking into the spotlight, through bespoke luxurious class settings where one can relax & be taken on a mouth-watering culinary journey that awakens all five senses.
After dining at countless Indian restaurants, reading plenty of online recipes & attending numerous “Indian” cooking classes in Australia, she was greatly disappointed at what was served or taught as there was no authenticity, nor delicious unique dishes showcasing the true cuisine!
These are no ordinary cooking classes. Heavenly Morsel is a luxury in-depth culinary experience like no other, where history meets passion & culinary skill. Almost everything you learn at the classes are treasured family recipes which have been passed down to Tanya from her ancestors, through her grandmother & mother – recipes that you won't find anywhere.
