Welcome to Australia’s finest & best valued cooking class– Heavenly Morsel Melbourne run by Australia's Spice Queen Tanya Carneiro.

A luxury, unforgettable cooking class experience which brings to light, the complex & highly sophisticated cuisine of Regional Indian Cuisine.
With over 300 signature, authentic dishes you will learn the art of Indian cuisine and cooking with spices.

Heavenly Morsel procures only premium organic produce, wild caught seafood, organic meats and the country’s finest ingredients – at no extra cost to you.

It takes near a lifetime, to master the intricate art of cooking with Indian spices. Every seed, spice & grain has its purpose, a balancing act of complex & specific spices form every dish. Nothing is added for ‘aesthetic’.

Every dish you learn at Heavenly Morsel is complex & compelling- oscillating between the dynamic flavours of regions across the subcontinent.

Heavenly Morsel is a ONE cuisine specialist cooking school for all individuals who consider themselves a passionate cook, foodie, culinary aficionado or just zealous about sensational sumptuous food.

Heavenly Morsel teaches only what they are masters in, you will not find a mix of global cuisines teaching unauthentic “themed” stereotypical dishes. Australia’s Best Indian Cooking Class welcomes you, for an eye opening experience you will never forget & dishes that will be In your family for years to come.

For Tanya, cooking is like breathing - effortless & essential.

Before she was able to walk or talk, she has been mastering the art of Regional Indian Cooking & seafood under her famous Grandmother’s wing. Heavenly Morsel is built on centuries of authenticity & skill with treasured family recipes and unique never before seen dishes featuring in every class.

Nana Lucy was a famous cook in her coastal town, having people come from far and wide to taste her signature cuisine & exquisite seafood. Her head-turning recipes & teachings are my family jewel, passed down many generations – true Portuguese-Indian food. A hidden gem cuisine like no other.

Tanya proudly opened Heavenly Morsel Melbourne, with the vision of bringing authentic Regional Indian cooking into the spotlight, through bespoke luxurious class settings where one can relax & be taken on a mouth-watering culinary journey that awakens all five senses.

After dining at countless Indian restaurants, reading plenty of online recipes & attending numerous “Indian” cooking classes in Australia, she was greatly disappointed at what was served or taught as there was no authenticity, nor delicious unique dishes showcasing the true cuisine!

These are no ordinary cooking classes. Heavenly Morsel is a luxury in-depth culinary experience like no other, where history meets passion & culinary skill. Almost everything you learn at the classes are treasured family recipes which have been passed down to Tanya from her ancestors, through her grandmother & mother – recipes that you won't find anywhere.

No other class will teach you, nor provide you what Heavenly Morsel can, so join them & see just how spectacular Regional Indian cooking truly is. Food from history's past must live on..
Heavenly Morsel guarantees you memorable unique meals & compliments for years to come.

Tanya was so wonderful, informative, friendly, inclusive, just such a great experience, I would highly recommend!

Diana Miller Nov 2023


Thoroughly enjoyed this Indian food cooking class. Authentic Indian cuisine taught by our host, Tanya, who was so very welcoming and knowledgeable.
We cooked in a kitchen that was large, airy, spotless and light filled. It was a beautiful atmosphere and with ten people in the kitchen it was still a hands on personal cooking experience.
All the techniques we learned can easily be applied at home with step by step recipe instructions that we took home with us along with containers of the beautiful food we had made together. It was such a lovely day. I’m looking forward to going back there to do another Indian cooking course with a different menu on offer with Tanya.
Diana.

The class was truly amazing. Everyone got to participate, Tanya gives the science behind what we’re doing and quizzes us which makes it really entertaining.

I have done a lot of cooking classes but this one really stood out and got beyond my expectations. I will definitely come back and totally recommend.

Another class with the lovely Tanya focusing on northern Indian cuisine. To say Tanya is passionate about cooking authentic Indian dishes would be an understatement. She has great recommendations to replicate the same flavours from class at home. From genuine paneer to ghee to double cream. Definitely an enjoyable experience, would highly recommend!

Tanya is an exceptional cook. Comprehensive and with great attention to detail in creating a comfortable space and imparting the tips and tricks you won't find in any book - this is not an ordinary cooking class but one for true foodies and cooking enthusiasts.

Tanya is so so lovely and has a very British elocution from her English upbringing. She works full time during the week and explores her passion for good hearty homemade Indian cooking on the weekend with the lucky few of us who were able to get an invite to her kitchen. She has a repertoire of over 200 dishes and shares some of her favourites today. An explosion of spices and flavours from barramundi curry to chicken curry to a pumpkin dish, bottle gourd and green beans, a rice pilaf to go with it all. We had a beautiful snacking board with three mocktails during the class and a beautiful bottle of Penfolds Chardonnay to compliment the meal. Containers and bags all provided.

What a fabulous afternoon.
Very gracious, engaging and experienced host/teacher who shared her time between the six of us. A lovely venue, beautiful grazing platter for us enjoy, fabulous recipes and so much to learn about new ingredients and history of recipes.

Tanya was so warm and friendly, felt like part of the family when we left, the lessons were informative, well instructed and with practice tips to make sure we were able to replicate the dishes once we got home. I would recommend any classes Tanya instructs and would love to do more of her classes.

The teacher was very knowledgable but also very kind and patient.

Ingredients were organic and fresh - it was great learning about the different cooking methods - I learned so much.

I will definitely be doing more courses with her.

The Vegan Indian cooking class was absolutely incredible! Stunning location, excellent teacher and scrumptious food. Could not rate this highly enough. Tanya is super knowledgeable and incredibly welcoming and friendly. Crammed full of tips and tricks and very hands on. So enjoyable for my daughter and myself.

Instructor was very good, relaxed and explanation was very clear. The class has helped me to understand better the way of cooking when to apply correct spices. I enjoyed it and will go again
I recommend any one who likes food with correct spice to give a try.

Kate Hutson Sep 2022


Great class, so much information, passion, enthusiasm and skill.
The food was next level, the ingredients were very fresh and the spices aromatic. A beautiful well equipped kitchen with stunning views. The grazing board was spectacular and just the right amount of easy to handle food.
I can’t finish without saying the the play list was really cool and the take home containers…really, really cool and they work, (small problem going around a sharp corner on my way home!) My daughter and I had a great day.

Great class. Delicious, very informative and knowledgeable about styles of cooking and key tips on how to best execute ourselves.

Artemis Niaros Jul 2022


What was the teacher like? - Very friendly, patient, sociable and most importantly extremely knowledgeable on the subject matter - super tasty Indian food

How was the venue (if applicable)? beautiful large home kitchen, very well equipped

If materials were provided, did you like them? all materials (ingredients) were best quality organic ingredients

Was the experience good value for money? - Absolutely!

What did you do / learn? - aside from cooking 6 recipes start to finish, I learned about how gentle one needs to be with spices so as not to burn them

What did you like most? - super relaxed and fun vibe!

Jaydon Benn Jun 2022


Unbelievable day. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, delicious food and really inspiring learning experience. Highly recommend this to anyone.

Dannielle Robson Jun 2022


Tania nailed the entire experience from “Hello” to “Goodbye”.
We had such a wide variety of foods to cook and try and even take home. The day was spectacular and I recommend this to anyone looking to fill their day with something fun and useful. We were the only couple in the room which says a lot for the experience being one singles can attend comfortably on their own. Well done!

Denise Feeney Feb 2022


I cooked some verydelicious Indian meals. Tanya was very patient. She provided clear explanations and guidance. She sent some prime quality spices, rice and Dahl. The recipes were easy to print and clear. She helped me on the phone for a while because my Internet dropped out due to a tree falling on a power line near me! She was able to adapt the cooking because of the unforeseen incident.

Terrific class - learnt alot. Tanya was a great teacher and as the class was small we all had individual attention which was an extra bonus.

Roger Hocking Sep 2021


Tanya was an excellent teacher, with very good communication skills, as well as a pleasant cheerful manner. I'm certain I can repeat the dishes I cooked with the knowledge gained and the clear recipes provided.

What more can you ask from a cooking course?
