  • 5/5 from Christie Thomson, attended Jun 2025: The class was amazing and the food was ridiculous(ly good)!!! Chef Dan not only proved that he can multitask, but somehow managed to successfully bring together 14 individuals to create 3 beautiful base dishes - with alternative options for cooking, saucing and seasoning. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a hands on cooking (and eating) experience - it's a real life YouTube how-to, meets The Cooking Professor, that turns into a Restaurant quality dinner, and we absolutely enjoyed every minute!!!

  • 4/5 from Scott Elvery, attended Jul 2023: The teachers were vert cordial and engaging. I picked lots of little tips as they passed on their knowledge from their considerable experience- you simply dont get thta from an internet recipe.
  • 5/5 from Laura Parker, attended Oct 2022: Gnocchi and risotto with Dani was amazing. He is an authentic Italian chef, so talented and masterful in teaching. The amount of food we made was incredible. Great venue and friendly vibe. Hands on experience. Was so much fun. They had 3 stations - pan friend gnocchi, normal gnocchi and risotto. We chose our own areas for prep and we all helped with the cooking. 100% recommend. BYO wine or drinks to enjoy with dinner.

  • 5/5 from Michelle Beckton, attended Jul 2022: Daniele is well suited to teach groups of inexperienced cooks. He is well organised, clear with his instructions, and is constantly multitasking. The food was delicious and it was plentiful. Daniele your good nature and good Italian spirit made the class. Grazie Mille
  • 5/5 from Emma Hogan, attended Mar 2022: SUCH A GOOD NIGHT! Learned so many tips and everyone had such a great time. We’ll be back :)
  • 4/5 from Darryl Hoad, attended Jan 2022: The people running the course were very good. I would really liked to have been given some literature when we left about what we had learnt instead of having to try and remember it all. Also I missed a bit of info because we are cooking 2 or 3 things at once and I was involved in making sure one item wasn't burning while he was giving instruction on something else. The food was very nice and the atmosphere was great.
  • 5/5 from Michelle Cockrell, attended Dec 2021: Sunny was a great host/teacher! His passion for what he does is clearly evident. It had the vibe of a social gathering rather than a ‘lesson’. Great facilities and really good, wholesome food to enjoy after!
  • 4/5 from Alan McAlpine, attended Sep 2021: Great Hands on experience. Sunny was a wonderful teacher and patient with all of us. Some great tips and techniques you don't get from the recipe books. Highly recommend
  • 5/5 from Karen Rankin, attended Jul 2021: Brilliant teacher, he was funny and engaging. Learnt a lot-ate a lot. Excellent value for money
  • 5/5 from Alysha Black, attended May 2021: Sunny ran the Italian Class and it was amazing. Not only was the food absolutely incredible, but Sunny himself made the class a lot of fun and a absolutely memorable. We will be back for his dumplings class!
  • 5/5 from Sharon Manolini, attended Apr 2021: Great friendly and welcoming class. My 16 yr old daughter and I learned how to make Gnocchi and Risotto, absolutely delicious. We both thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot from our experience. Sunny our teacher was friendly and helpful and very informative. I would recommend a class to all, great gift idea and to share an experience or memory with is priceless. We will go back.
  • 5/5 from Shona Cranwell, attended Feb 2021: Sunny was an absolutely amazing teacher/ comedian/ chef and made our night so enjoyable. He kept everyone laughing and involved whilst ensuring safety and hygiene practises were taking place. Couldn’t have asked for more. Delicious food and definitely value for money. Already looking at booking again :)
