Recent reviews of Italian Cooking Class

  • 5/5 from Donna & Trev Rowe, attended Apr 2026: Cath is the consummate professional in her kitchen and her enthusiasm and passion makes everyone feel at ease and like she is your best friend. Brad is also integral to the running of the day being there to wash, to grab, and to get the drinks. The food we created was delicious and we had so much fun. Bubbles, creating beautiful pasta and laughter made the day fly by and we finished off the day sitting at her beautiful dining table sharing what we made. A fantastic experience.
  • 5/5 from Nick Dunn, attended Apr 2026: What an amazing day out at Cath’s Kitchen where we were warmly welcomed like family before cooking, learning and laughing as we made so many delicious dishes and learnt lots of tips, tricks and stories. What a memorable birthday present that will be enjoyed again each time I cook pasta and tiramisu at home. Thank you so much Cath!
  • 5/5 from Janelle Smith, attended Apr 2026: Such a fun day. Cath is so generous with her time and knowledge. Mum and I had a ball and learnt so much. Would definitely recommend Cath’s Kitchen. Thanks Cath, Brad and Sonya for a great day.
  • 5/5 from Coco & Jed, attended Mar 2026: We were gifted this cooking class by friends, and it turned out to be such an intimate and fun experience. Cath and Brad were incredibly warm and welcoming, and you can really see how much effort and passion they put into everything—they made it feel so special that I even found myself wondering how they keep it all going (in the best way). It’s amazing how their love for what they do brings people together and creates such a genuine connection throughout the class. Thank you for such a wonderful time! If you’re looking for something fun and memorable, I 200% recommend it.
  • 5/5 from Leanne & Dean, attended Mar 2026: Amazing. Everything. Best cooking class with Cath and hubby Brad. We actually felt like family enjoying a meal in Cath’ beautiful home. Met a lovely couple as well. None of us wanted to leave and we came home with so much food prepare again later. We learnt a lot too. Cath is a Gem! X
  • 5/5 from Willem Armandt Fourie, attended Nov 2025: This was a great experience - from the moment I walked through the door Cath was super friendly and got me invovled with the cooking right away. We tasted foccaccia, compared spices, salts and oils and got great tips on how to make all the dishes that little bit better. The atmosphere was friendly and fun, the food was delicious and overall I'd tell anyone that they can be sure they'll have a great time if they decide to do a class with Cath. Also, at the end Cath sent us the recipes for all the dishes we made that day, so you don't have to worry about forgetting the recipes, just enjoy :)
  • 5/5 from Gabrielle Bibby, attended Nov 2025: Wow!! Cath gave us a fabulous cooking lesson of Italian favourites including focaccia, tortellini, chicken saltimbocca, tiramisu (limoncello not coffee). She was very generous, giving lots of ideas about sauces, dressings and equipment. And the sit down lunch was a delight.
  • 5/5 from Jason Gale, attended Nov 2025: Had an absolute blast cooking with Cath, with her husband Brad heroically keeping the kitchen spotless, and a great group of fellow home cooks. Cath teaches with a mix of expertise, humour and generosity that makes the whole experience a joy.
