Recent reviews of Fundamental Cooking Workshop

  • 5/5 from Angus Cowan, attended Aug 2026: Really enjoyed this class on fundamentals, where the focus was on the "why" of cooking as much as the "how". A great class for beginners and for people who can follow a recipe but want understand more about cooking holistically.
  • 5/5 from Jacinta Collins, attended Jun 2026: Mother and adult son fundamentals class. Chef Paul was great, very personable and informative in an inviting atmosphere.
  • 5/5 from John O, attended Jan 2026: Loved this class. As a novice I was worried it'd all be too hard, but it wasn't. Paul is clearly expert in his field, and was able to explain and demonstrate how to 'cook', not just heat, in a way I could understand. Can't recommend more highly.
  • 5/5 from Sophie Ford, attended Aug 2025: Paul is so friendly and we learned a lot and had lots of food to eat and take home
  • 5/5 from Noeleen Fanning, attended Apr 2025: Really enjoyed the class, learned lots and Paul was really friendly. Would recommend.
  • 5/5 from Adam van Wyk, attended Mar 2025: Paul was excellent! Such a friendly and warm person with a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend this class for beginners.
