As Australia's Spice Queen, I've spent years breaking the stereotype of what people think Indian cuisine is from the UK to Australia.
For too long, many Australians have believed that Indian food begins and ends with butter chicken, naan and the familiar dishes found in restaurants. While Indian restaurant food has become a cuisine in its own right, it represents only a limited westernised version, of one of the world's richest and most diverse culinary traditions.
At Heavenly Morsel, my mission has always been to introduce people to the real India - the vibrant regional cuisines, family recipes and extraordinary flavours that rarely exist outside Indian homes.
It's a journey that has completely transformed the way thousands of students experience Indian food. Not oily, not heavy - but more delicate, nourishing and intriguing, all whilst being sinfully delicious!
Time and time again, I hear the very same words after class:
"I never knew Indian food could taste like this."
Once people discover the freshness, elegance and complexity of authentic regional Indian cuisine, they often find themselves looking at restaurant Indian food through an entirely new lens.
With over 500 authentic recipes across 80 immersive masterclasses, you'll explore the remarkable diversity of India's regions, each with its own unique spices, ingredients, cooking techniques and culinary traditions.
No two regions taste alike.
From the fragrant coconut curries of the South to the royal dishes of the North, fiery (optional) coastal seafood, ancient vegetarian temple cuisine and forgotten village recipes, every class takes you deeper into the true soul of Indian cooking.
At Heavenly Morsel, every dish begins with uncompromising quality.
We cook with premium produce, freshly roasted and ground whole spices, authentic techniques and traditional methods - never relying on commercial premixes, packaged spice blends or shortcuts.
You'll learn not only how to cook each dish, but why every spice, ingredient and technique matters, giving you the confidence to recreate extraordinary meals long after the class has finished.
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced cook, these special masterclasses are designed to immerse you in one of the world's most fascinating cuisines.
This isn't simply a cooking class.
It's a culinary journey through the real India, with your Spice Queen.
You'll leave with remarkable recipes, lifelong skills, a deeper appreciation for authentic regional Indian cuisine, and a completely new understanding of what Indian food can truly be.
This is the world of Indian cooking that most people never knew existed.

In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

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.
