Our home style cooking classes are designed to be fun, casual and informative. They are run in a hands on group style environment.
We teach you what our Mum’s and grandmas taught us over the years and share stories of our backgrounds and give you lots of tips and tricks to fix it when you might stuff it up.
Our classes are presented by regular people ( though some might work in hospitality).

We have a selection of cuisines to choose from including Sri Lankan, Indian, Thai, and Japanese. Our menus are seasonal and requests are welcome. We will do our best to accommodate them. The classes are a great way to expand your skills or even give to a loved one as a present. We invite you to join us for a cooking classes in Melbourne

I try everything on meals it adds that extra. Like magic because it’s so new and different. It hasn’t gone wrong once. And I feel so special to have indigenous people share this with me. It’s very much a ceremony. And soon I will have an indigenous cultural man come to my house to charge more that was in Classbento to. I feel so blessed.

Presented beautifully with quality products! Arrived within a couple of days. I’m sure my mum is going to absolutely love this experience I’m gifting her. What I think she’s going to especially love is that this gift is expanding her knowledge about aboriginal culture and support aboriginal communities.

This box is incredible and has broadened my horizons so much with the included recipes alongside experimentation with all the ingredients. The links to videos and writing are really interesting and have helped me understand what I am cooking with better. A huge fan of the wattleseed pancakes in particular, so tasty and an easy recipe for breakfast!

Thank you for your feedback Claudia.
This is more than just a box of ingredients and a recipe book and here is some information on how to get the full experience. If you look on page 3 of the recipe book you will see the instructions to access the members area for curated content and videos on Native Ingredients. Please let us know if you have any trouble accessing this and we would be happy to help.

We hope this helps you get the full experience and is more enjoyable for you.

Kit was exactly as advertised. The recipe book is a great start point to further exploration. It is also nice to note that there are additional options like joining the facebook page to go further with it as well.

I enjoyed the class and learned some tips on cooking Sri Lankan dishes. The uterus was very personable and explained what we needed to do well. The only thing I was slightly disappointed about was that as we all prepared and cooked a separate dish, I did not see how in particular the chicken dish came together. Maybe worth considering each participant getting the ingredients together (chopping etc) but then all coming together to watch the dish come together at the stove

Leanne was a patient
and caring teacher with a friendly manner and easy rapport. Her simple and easy to follow presentation style made this a throughly enjoyable and educational treat.
Additionally, she is endlessly patient
dealing with the large volume of questions. It was pleasing to see she answered every single question and provided necessary support for the cooks with all sorts of concerns.
All while this happens Leanne cracks jokes and shares happy anecdotes and stories.
This was a thoroughly enjoyable way to spend 90 minutes and I will gladly recommend it to others.

This was such a fun thing to do. Himanshi was very welcoming and encouraging. It was a whirlwind 90 minutes that flew by, and then I was able to sit down with a flavourful meal at the end of it. Thank you Himanshi, I am inspired to perfect my fresh chai and highly recommend your class to others.

I really enjoyed the online Indian cooking class, it was very easy to follow along and the results were delicious. A lovely thing to do especially during lockdown! My family enjoyed the Indian feast at the end of it!

Very knowledgeable and great teacher. Lighting could be better and I found at times I struggled to keep up. Also it needs to be clearer that you should prepare the berries earlier - before class.
