Indulge your tastebuds and learn to cook the most authentic, mouthwatering feast at Heavenly Morsel's authentic biryani cooking class in Melbourne! Envision exotic spices, nuts and saffron cooked with tender slow-braised meat.
In this hands-on cooking class with Australia's Spice Queen Tanya Carneiro, you will learn about the aromatic tantalising cuisine of the royals from a Northern region in India, influenced by the Persian origin rulers. You will learn the centuries-old techniques of cooking each stage of the skillful biryani to perfection as well as other dishes to accompany the dish.
The regal biryani you will be taught in this class was developed in the royal kitchens of the Mughal Empire and does not have a spice overload unlike its variations or modern restaurant versions. When you eat the Heavenly Morsel Biryani, you can actually taste each spice and will not be caught by the pungency of a masala heavy blend. The biryani's stars are the tender meat and perfectly cooked rice!
This is a treasured and coveted recipe, loved and enjoyed over the years by all who have tasted it, and this knowledge can be yours to master.
No matter how many time you attend the same class, you'll learn at least 6 outstanding NEW dishes each time. However, you may choose to try out another Heavenly Morsel masterclass to explore other regions.
Sample menu subject to change:
  • Royal Chicken Biryani or Royal Tiger Prawn Biryani
  • Stuffed Baby Eggplants
  • Mughlai Beef Kebab Koftas
  • Kachumber Salad
  • Raita for Biryani
  • And accompaniments
Heavenly Morsel procures only the freshest, most premium ingredients including free-range meats and premium, sustainable Aussie seafood.

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.
