• 4/5 from Jennifer Mallett, attended Nov 2024: Enjoyed the Breakfast Masterclass. Elle was lovely & I learnt a lot. The other people on my bench were a great team to join in with. One tip for anyone booking is to be aware that you need to get street parking.
• 5/5 from Nicole Deayton, attended Aug 2024: I bought this class as a birthday gift for my best friend and it was fabulous! We had the lovely Chef Elle who taught us how to make the yummiest brioche buns, croissants, hollandaise and poached eggs. At the end we all got to enjoy our beautiful fresh food with all the accompaniments! I would highly recommend this class!
• 5/5 from Rachele Sheard, attended Jul 2024: The breakfast masterclass was so much fun. I liked that the team at Vanilla made sure to use products we could source at a supermarket as well as providing great hacks for our recipes. I will never be able to eat hollandaise sauce at a cafe ever again after making my own! The venue was light and airy and the team efficient, best part - no dishes! Thanks Elle and the wonderful team of Vanilla Zulu.
• 5/5 from Holly Davies, attended Apr 2024: We were lucky and had a small group of 5. This meant the teacher could really focus on each of us and gave lots of tips and tricks. Definitely feel more confident in the kitchen and my absolute favourite part was making the brioche buns from scratch. Everything was so delicious.
• 5/5 from Annette Harding, attended Feb 2024: Chef Elle was amazing. She was so down to earth that everyone was relaxed and we all had a great time. Loved the eggs benny with the hollandaise we made. Would definitely recommend this class.
• 5/5 from Emily Rowe, attended Nov 2023: First time doing this class and we loved it! The croissants were to die for
• 5/5 from Lize Malherbe, attended Oct 2023: This class was so much fun! The lesson was planned out perfectly so we had all our goodies at the end to enjoy a feast! Julianne was an absolutely amazing teacher, you could really tell she loved baking which made the class all the more fun, and was able to give us tips to bake at home. I had a great time with the hands on learning and really enjoyed this class, would reccomend! Will definitely be trying these recepies at home again.
• 5/5 from Sarolta Albert, attended Sep 2023: Very enjoyable class with Julianne, who is a very passionate pastry chef, presented beautifully, warm and engaging person. Plenary of food to munch on and take home to family. Thank you!
• 5/5 from Annemarie White, attended Jul 2023: An admin error didn't show me as attending- but the staff at Vanilla Zulu were very understanding and allowed me to join the class I had booked into. Teacher Lucy was unbelievably good - she gave me a space at her bench and her instructions, knowledge and energy meant all participants not only had a wonderful time, but we all learnt to bake and cook. I don't think any one's food was not perfect- hence great teaching in a fun environment - several having a martini with our finishing meal to celebrate. Wonderful!
• 5/5 from Suzanne Dang, attended Jul 2023: Such a fun and informative class. I enjoyed myself and am a bit more confident with making breakfast items now!
• 5/5 from Suzanne Dang, attended Jul 2023: Such a fun and informative class. I enjoyed myself and am a bit more confident with making breakfast items now!
• 5/5 from Nic Godfrey, attended Jun 2023: Great experience, and even greater food! We will definitely be returnong and recommending to friends! Thanks Chef Elle!
• 5/5 from Inna Carp, attended Jun 2023: It was really great, I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you Elle for all the helpful tips, the poached eggs turn out well every time now
• 5/5 from Robert Black, attended Apr 2023: Elle was really friendly and explained things really well. Food was really good and friendly atmosphere.
• 5/5 from Lorraine Brandimarte, attended Mar 2023: Elle was very knowledgeable, friendly, and very approachable. She gave us some great tips, and I'll certainly be trying these recipes at home!
• 5/5 from Mia Linton-Smith, attended Mar 2023: Brilliant class! Mel was great! Very well informed and great little back stories of pastry origins! Tasted yum too!
• 3/5 from Simone Golding, attended Feb 2023: We had a different chef run our class due to the teacher calling in sick. Obviously these things happen, but the class was a bit of a mess. No one really understood what to do, her instructions and measurements didnt match the paper recipes, everyones hollandaise split and the teacher didnt know why or how to explain what to do to avoid this in the future. Dont get me wrong the teacher was lovely, but we were looking for more instructions and tips, and less learning together. Probably wouldnt try this again.
• 5/5 from Katalin Varga, attended Jan 2023: Loved the class! The teacher (Mel) was very encouraging and knowledgeable. Me and my hubby had great time there, it was so good learn to cook some new dishes together. My favorite was the croissant, yummy! Also, cannot thank Mel enough for showing us a very easy way to make poached eggs. :)
• 5/5 from Jessica Ruhle, attended Jan 2023: The class was lots of fun and the food tasted amazing! There was a great mix of learning and hands-on practice and it was fun to share the experience with my partner. Very excited to try and replicate this masterpiece at home.
• 5/5 from Kathy Williams, attended Nov 2022: Excellent course. Chef was great teacher- clear instructions and helpful ++* Venue great-easy to find Was a great Mother’s Day present, and I’m planning my next course already.
• 5/5 from Marcus Hodges, attended Oct 2022: Excellent, thanks Mel for your knowledge and guidance with our breakfast cooking class. Much appreciated
• 4/5 from Eliza Sullivan, attended Oct 2022: Purchased this as a gift. They really enjoyed the class, it was a comfortable environment and they got to make a variety of food and even take some home :)
• 5/5 from Michelle Leach, attended Sep 2022: Fantastically easy class despite what seemed like a complicated menu (brioche buns and croissants). However our instructor Elle made everything so simple with first demonstrating and then instructing us as we tried it for ourselves. Definitely recommend the breakfast menu to anyone regardless of their level of cooking experience.
• 5/5 from Clare Gilliland, attended Jul 2022: Had a delightful morning learning how to make our favorite brunch menu, croissants, brioche buns, hollandaise sauce and poached eggs. Elle was clear in explaining what to do, and helped us out whenever we needed. Very calm, relaxed kitchen perfect for learning in. Love that washing up is not required, just savoring our delicious food! Can't wait to come back!
• 5/5 from Rhys Follett, attended Jun 2022: Great experience, unfortunately I don't do well in new environments, but will definitely book another class in future
• 1/5 from Olga Narygina, attended Jun 2022: Do not fall in the same trap! I had to rebook the attendance due to falling ill the morning before. This is when I learned that rebooking the class between 24 and 72 hours before the class results in a 40% fee! I also could not cancel for a refund! I firmly believe that such policy is absolutely unacceptable, and even more so during COVID times. When I pushed back, the reply was: "we have a business to run" - I do not mind, please, run, but not at my expense. I of course will not pay even a cent towards rebooking, the two booked tickets will just be wasted. I strongly advice against booking this masterclass. Should you decide to book, think twice, and book only if you are absolutely sure you will be able to attend.
• 5/5 from Priscilla Bloomfield, attended Mar 2022: What an amazing class. We started with nothing and ended the morning with a beautiful homemade breakfast. The instructors make the process flow so effortlessly. She was so chilled and gave a little bits of history around the food through the session. I woke up feeling unsocial and not wanting to participate in any group type class but left feeling on top of the world, having been able to get in and get involved in creating the gourmet meal. It was so therapeutic. Highly recommend it if you are feeling disconnected from the world.
• 5/5 from Dallas Priester, attended Mar 2022: This class was amazing Chef did such a great job, she communicated really well and was so helpful if anyone had any issues. The food turned out amazing I cannot recommend this class or venue enough We will be coming back again - 3rd class
• 5/5 from Benjamin Porter, attended Aug 2021: I had a great time, the kitchen is clean and well maintained, Elle was a great teacher. Would love to go back again and continue to learn more.
• 5/5 from Edwina Tam, attended Jul 2021: I totally enjoyed the class, Elle our teacher is very professional and efficient. We’ve made croissants and brioche, though I’ve made them before, these are much easier recipes to follow. The demo and instructions by chef Elle were clear and in details. She came around and checked on every one of us. I haven’t had much success of making egg Benedict, Elle made it so simple and now I can have egg Benedict every morning (only if I have time and no cholesterols problem). All ingredients were provided at the workshop. We’ve had a feast after and plenty to take home to feed my gang. Looking forward to doing the Desserts and Pastries class with Elle. Thanks Chef Elle.Warmest regards Edwina
• 5/5 from Madeleine Steinke, attended Jun 2021: Our teachers were amazing! Chef Mel is super helpful and full of knowledge. All materials were provided and the food was delicious. I can’t wait to do another class!
• 5/5 from Juliet Lambrick, attended Mar 2021: Thanks Ellie and Vanilla Zulu. We loved the breakfast masterclass and had heaps of fun We made croissants something I never thought I'd be able to do. Yum The teacher was attentive and very knowledgeable and we had everything we needed for success
• 5/5 from Jessica Spina, attended Mar 2021: My mum gifted my siblings and I this breakfast class for Christmas and we had a great time! Elle was so helpful and knowledgable and it was a great mix of structure and being able to work at your own pace. We made croissants and brioche buns from scratch as well as a hollandaise sauce and perfect poached eggs. At the end you get to enjoy your creations with a little spread of extras to decorate your plate + grab a drink if you like! This was my second class at Vanilla zuzu now and I'll definitely be back :)
