One of the best things about her classes is that they are taught in her home. This means that you have the confidence to make the dishes in your own home. I highly recommend this class and her other classes.

  • 5/5 from Pamela Hansen, attended Apr 2026: The class was everything I had hoped for. It was fun, informative, and very hands-on. I gained confidence to try new cooking techniques and experiment with different food combinations. The food was delicious. The class was made even more enjoyable by the lovely group of people, and I am keen to do more cooking with Tonya, who is a gentle, patient, and highly knowledgeable teacher.
  • 5/5 from Belinda Worrell, attended Apr 2026: Great food, amazing knowledge and great people. Tonya was an amazing host. Would attend again

  • 5/5 from Lisa Orwin, attended Apr 2024: It was a perfect day. Meeting new people. Teacher was very informative and the food was delicious. Definitely recommend this course.
  • 5/5 from Sue Fitzgerald, attended Mar 2023: Tonya is a confident and very capable teacher who gave clear instructions and was most encouraging to all members of the class. The ingredients were carefully prepared and the instructions were clearly stated. She willingly helped us when we asked but generally gave us freedom to work independently in our pairs. It was especially enjoyable to sit down and share the beautiful meal which we had prepared. We were able to congratulate each other on our hard work.
  • 5/5 from Anna Xia, attended Jul 2022: Tonya was very hospitable and inviting. A cozy 3 participants today cooking at her home by the bay. We had some cheese, walnuts and grapes to begin with. Then we made egg and chive mayonnaise with caviar, seed crackers and roasted beetroot, cinnamon and pomegranate dip. The main was a French chicken dish made with onions, leeks, mushrooms and apples. Served with garlic and parsley butter and vegetables on the side. For dessert we had chocolate bark with an orange salad. All enjoyed with a glass of vino and views of the Marina and sea. Happy times.
  • 5/5 from Jenny Chan, attended Apr 2022: A cooking course with peaceful water views to gaze at as you dine on exquisitely presented healthy food. Clear verbal and printed instructions helped guide us through preparation of each dish. An informative and sociable Saturday spent with some pleasant attendees and a vibrant chef.
  • 5/5 from Carolyn Crameri, attended Jun 2021: What a fantastic day! Spent the morning cooking under the guidance of Tonya, a very lovely and knowledgeable lady. Finished the day dining on the beautiful food we had cooked with a glass of wine sharing stories together. Such a lovely way to spend the day meeting new people and learning new skills. Highly recommend.

Participants in classes have commented on how Tonya generously and enthusiastically enjoys sharing her knowledge, experience and ideas. There are interesting foodie hints, tips and musings both during the sessions and whilst sharing the delicious lunch that is taken ‘at the table’, overlooking the views of the bay and beyond.
Tonya’s vibrant and engaging personality will encourage you to want to share ‘the pleasure of the table’ experienced in the morning classes with your friends and family. You will be inspired to race home and repeat the dishes you have learned in the day’s class. Tonya is Melbourne trained at Holmesglen, in Paris at Le Cordon Bleu and the Ritz Escoffier and in Burgundy at La Varenne l’Ecole de Cuisine. She has taken culinary tours to France in the Dordogne and Provence, plus she has visited regional cooking schools in the Dordogne, Normandy and in Tuscany, Italy. She regularly takes culinary tours to Marrakech, Morocco, where she perfects many of the Moroccan dishes she discovers there, cooked to perfection by her friend and chef colleague, Edwina Golombek, who owns a culinary, residential cooking school riad in the heart of Marrakesh. A visit and her pilgrim's walk along the Camino de Santiago de Compostela found Tonya in love with the history and culinary traditions of Spain, so she has added these experiences to her Spanish cuisine cooking classes as well.
Before training as a chef, Tonya was a librarian, information manager, library trainer and library consultant. Cooking on the Bay proudly owns an extensive library collection of over 3000 cookbooks and books related to food, cooking, France, Italy Morocco and the Mediterranean.
