Recent reviews of Express Pasta Making Class

  • 5/5 from Renae Maughan, attended Oct 2026: Chef Elle was great, thank you. She explained everything well, helped when we needed it. Now to practise so we don’t forget. We’ll certainly do another class.
  • 5/5 from Elaine Wixted, attended Jul 2026: Such a fantastic and easy to follow class. The teacher was amazing and very encouraging. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys cooking. A very entertaining evening Elaine
  • 4/5 from Jessica Zollner, attended Jul 2026: The teacher was lovely and we learned the whole pasta making process by hand. The best part was that we got to eat it at the end of the night! The reason for taking one star off is that the class felt quite rushed and definitely would have been more enjoyable with more time. Especially since the teacher didnt have much time to answer questions between explanations.
  • 5/5 from Hana Funaishi, attended Jan 2026: It was so good, our whole family really enjoyed it and our teacher was really great!
  • 5/5 from Stephen Hay, attended Jan 2026: I took my daughter to the pasta making class recently and we had an amazing time. The chef who took the class was an amazing instructor and paced the class expertly for those who had never made fresh pasta. Within two hours we had made, cooked and eaten two filled pasta dishes. I would highly recommend the experience. Thanks for a great evening! steve
  • 5/5 from Todd Comrie, attended Apr 2025: Elle was awesome. Explained things really well and helped out when we stuffed up.
  • 5/5 from Alison Crosby, attended Jan 2025: Great teacher, easy to follow and delicious pasta!
  • 5/5 from Florencia Caccamo, attended Nov 2024: Amazing experience!!!!
  • 5/5 from Marie Armit, attended Nov 2024: How delicious! Easy enough class and definitely taught me enough basics that I am going to try make some myself soon. Teacher was so experienced and great at instructing.
  • 5/5 from Antony Price, attended Oct 2024: Great class, excellent teacher/chef with terrific communication skills, and great sense of humour. For those who like food you will enjoy the atmosphere, environment and simplicity of how to make your own tasty and lovely food, and for those who are not big on cooking or find cooking difficult, will learn how easy making and cooking super tasty dishes can be. This school offers a genuine service that is worth the investment of your time and money. Did I mention the wine, cocktail and beer fridge!!:)
  • 5/5 from Chad, attended Sep 2024: I really enjoyed the experience. My niece who is 13 y/o has been wanting to do a cooking class with me for a while. I let her choose the class and to be honest I was unsure at first. I found the class to be well run. It was respectful and made allowances for different levels of experience. I am a fairly confident cook and my niece is just starting out on her culinary journey but we both came away with a renewed confidence and joy. I am excited to explore other classes and see what culinary adventures unfold. The teacher was great and honestly to see my nieces' face light up when telling her family about what she had learnt was a joy.
  • 5/5 from Cassandra Large, attended Sep 2024: The class was great. Big space for cooking and friendly teacher. We learned how to make pasta and now have a wonderful skill. My 13 year old daughter loved doing the class with her Uncle. Great value for money.
  • 5/5 from Elisha Watson, attended Aug 2024: Elle was fantastic! Knowledgable, friendly and helpful! We had lots of fun and learnt lots! Thank you!
  • 5/5 from Annika Smith, attended May 2024: This was a great class. We learnt how to make pasta and it was easy to do so with our teacher, El who was amazing and very helpful!
  • 5/5 from Gay Daniels, attended May 2024: We thoroughly enjoyed the Pasta making course. Everything was clearly explained and demonstrated. Eager now to buy a pasta roller and practice what we learnt. The fillings, sauces and all the extra condiments were great. Thanks for catering for my allergy’s too. Nice group number allowing individual help when needed. Lovely to be able to buy a drink at the venue too. Will definitely look at further classes.
  • 5/5 from Munday Farrell, attended May 2024: Elle had great knowledge and easy to approach for questions! It was a lovely experience to share with my mum and would highly recommend for any pairing
  • 5/5 from Lisa Crook, attended May 2024: It was done with my own enjoyment. She was great. Clean kitchen. Yes I liked what we used. Learn't how to use the pasta machine. Yes it was good value. Using the pasta machine.
  • 5/5 from Mitchell Wilson, attended Apr 2024: 2 hours was a good time but not enough for everything planned. Maybe if the students complete one type of pasta but can watch how to make multiple may have saved some time.
  • 5/5 from Alex Clewes, attended Apr 2024: Very enjoyable. Pleasant environment, high quality ingredients and a fantastic outcome. Teacher friendly and approachable.
  • 5/5 from Kathy Thornton, attended Apr 2024: What an absolutely divine evening, making pasta, eating, socialising… Ellie was a fabulous teacher, joyful, attentive to everyone, sharing tips, encouraging and enduring our success. Hands down, the best course I’ve ever done. Thank you Vanilla Zulu.
  • 5/5 from Kristina Row, attended Mar 2024: I went solo. Chatted to a lovely couple. Loved th teacher and her team Loved the outcome snd pasta! Thank you
  • 5/5 from Brittany Date, attended Mar 2024: I bought this for my partner and I, he loved it as a gift idea because it’s something different to do! We learned how to make different pasta shapes and the dough. I think the class was excellent value for money! The only thing on the description that wasn’t clear was that we wouldn’t be making the pasta sauces or fillings ourselves, because it was an express course you just focus on the dough.
  • 3/5 from Scott Cobbett, attended Mar 2024: Great class however, lots of people struggling with the lack of air conditioning. Also shocked to see there was not a commercial dishwasher in use to properly sanitise everything used.
  • 4/5 from Jamie Philip Fisher, attended Feb 2024: We did a valentines day class, we had alot of fun. Was quite straight forward and the teacher was very helpful when she was able to help.
  • 5/5 from Adam Griffin, attended Jan 2024: Elle was absolutely amazing. We had a great time and would highly recommend this to friends
  • 3/5 from Vicki Shaw, attended Jan 2024: One teacher way to many students that none of us new what we were doing not enough one on one help should of been given the recipe so we could make the filling and sauce ourselves as we didn’t get to do that either
  • 5/5 from Hamid Pourabed, attended Jul 2023: Elle was simply amazing chef and great instructor. Me and my girlfriend joined the class and we had sooo much fun. And the best part is you eat your hand made pasta and it’s so delicious you can not stop!
  • 5/5 from Eduardo Herlangga, attended May 2023: I wish the session more than 2hours. Overall the class was great, the chef also nice, and it was really great experience
  • 5/5 from Dyann Craven, attended May 2023: We had Chef Elle and she was fantastic! Elle was lovely, supportive and was always close by to lend a helping hand or answer any questions. We loved making the hand cut long pasta at the end and wrapping the little tortellini’s. The sauces and fillings were also super delicious and we are glad that we have a recipe book so we can recreate them at home. Vanilla Zulu was clean, all of the staff were super friendly and we will definitely be coming back!
  • 5/5 from Lillian Guan, attended Jan 2023: Had a great time at the 2hr pasta-making class with Chef Elle. Went with my sister and we enjoyed a drink during the class, which made it relaxed and enjoyable! Chef Elle had great personal tips and knowledge of pasta to share with us. Vanilla Zulu team was also organised in having pasta fillings and sauces ready to accompany our hand-made pasta. Highly enjoyable, would do a group class like this again!
  • 5/5 from Warren Bradford, attended Aug 2022: Our class was terrific so full of great recipes and guidence our chef was great so helpful and so worth it cant wait to get home and stat putting our experiences to work
  • 5/5 from Imogen Barry, attended Aug 2022: Our teacher was super helpful and let us follow instructions in our own time. The structure of the class was really good and definitely good value for money! So much pasta leftover and so much fun :)
  • 4/5 from Ryan Streeter, attended Aug 2022: Our teacher chef Lucy was great, she explained everything great and we really enjoyed learning to make the pasta with her. The only thing I could say was it was a little frustrating having to go look for basic Utensils like rolling pins and cutters etc. The power also kept tripping over and over which made it very difficult to even cook and bowling water was even a challenge. All in all was lovely experience but a few areas to improve on
