2.5 hours Class size 1 to 12 guests

Danielle Alvarez, Culinary Director at Sydney Opera House, brings something old and something new to this hotly anticipated cooking class. She'll be using recipes from her current book, Recipes for a Lifetime of Beautiful Cooking, and offer a sneak peek at her new cookbook coming in early 2026!
Danielle's philosophy in this book is not about big proteins and expensive cuts; instead, she focuses on how to make the best use of stunning pantry ingredients, a well-stocked herb garden and a selection of beautifully fresh produce.
What you'll learn:
  • Simple cooking techniques to ensure your meals are always full of flavour.
  • Recipes that are guaranteed to become your weeknight staples.
  • Why beautiful cooking is the simplest way to bring happiness to any home.
Please note:
  • You will be cooking at a shared workstation in a group of 4-6. If you would like to book a group of 7 or more into this class, please contact us.
  • We make every effort to ensure that the class and the recipes proceed as advertised. However, occasionally we may need to alter recipes, ingredients or class format due to the availability of produce or other circumstances.
  • Recipes may contain allergens beside fish, crustaceans and molluscs. Please contact us for more information.
