Chef Antonella’s structured approach to the course exceeded my expectations in content, delivery and confidence gained from her technique and tips. Her organisational format of providing a shopping list, delectable family recipes along with pre-recorded step-by-step videos with every module was invaluable. If your desire is to cook traditional Italian fare, then this course has so much to offer, the least of which is experiencing Antonella’s authentic passion and love of her Italian heritage, expressed in her desire to share this wonderful food with others.Suelen - West Pennant Hills, NSWI was wanting to learn something new, something creative and I liked the idea of enhancing my already good cooking skills and increasing my cooking repertoire. This course provided comprehensive videos with excellent recipes that were relatively easy to follow and had lots of authentic flavour. I liked the way the videos were presented; they had just the right amount of content and I could watch them at my own pace.Elisa - Cromer, NSW This course caters to all levels from a novice like me, through to advanced cooks. Antonella explained the reasons behind the techniques, which allowed us to feel confident to experiment and extend ourselves with new ideas. As someone who gets bored easily with what I’m cooking, finally I’m cooking meals I want to eat after I’ve cooked them! Also, being married to an Italian who is never satisfied with Italian restaurant food, he absolutely raved about the food we cooked as part of this course. Antonella’s approach is enriched with so much cultural and historical knowledge paired with her exceptional chef skills, I found it fascinating and beyond just a cooking course. I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in Italian food or cooking in general.John and Penny - Glenhaven, NSWWhat a brilliant course to enhance our Italian cooking skills. We treated the course as a family experience cooking what we learnt every Sunday. We are pretty competent cooks, and this course has not only given us some jewels recipes, but every single week we have learnt new tips and techniques. It has also taught us to be more controlled, balanced and how to lift flavours of food! Thank you Antonella for a great, fun experience!Carolyn - West Pennant Hills, NSW I was keen to expand my cooking repertoire and learn the proper techniques for dishes I hadn’t had the confidence to try before. This course offered so much content in each module, plus all the recipes really worked! But it wasn’t just the recipes, it was all the extra little gems – the authentic techniques, tips and variations. Antonella was so generous with her advice and information and I loved the way she presented the videos with her signature mix of warmth, humility and passion.Gabrielle - Hunters Hill, NSW This course was like an “Italian Affair” that I could share with my family! Antonella is an experienced chef and teacher and is from an Italian background with a wealth of knowledge.
