Recent reviews of Meat, Cooked to Perfection BBQ Class

  • 4/5 from Nicholas Hamilton-Kane, attended Oct 2026: A really enjoyable session. Very useful lesson in cooking steak to perfection. Lots of information to take away. Smoked butter was a great addition - requires a small smoker but that shoulod be easy to get. Cooking chicken sous-vide was less useful - it requires a sous-vide cooker and bag sealer which are unrealistic for most kitchens. (The result was wonderful though.) Similarly, the lamb was delicious but cooking it was not really covered. Overall, the course was useful, good value for money and delivered well. I would consider joining one of the other courses.
  • 3/5 from Mohammed Alkaabi, attended Aug 2026: Just remember to take notes; he will provide everything, such as how to cook in a pan, oven, etc., but he is going to show how to cook on a grill and won't provide the instructions in the recipe for how to cook using a pan, etc. The class is good for learning how to cook steak, but he uses a lot of cooking terminology that you may not understand, which I didn't like because I didn't understand what he was saying 100%. You can ask questions, but I'm a shy person who won't ask.
  • 5/5 from Jacky Hanna, attended Mar 2026: Our teacher Paul was great, I learnt so much and can't wait to use his tips at home. The food was delicious, it was enjoyable and loved that all set temps were different so we can each use our intuition and really learn what to do. Learning about all the different cuts of meat was especially interesting for me also. Thankyou, I would do this again!

  • 5/5 from Nan Herlihen, attended Oct 2025: A wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Paul our chef was most knowledgeable and broke down all the elements of effectively cooking proteins.

The food provided was top class and I very much enjoyed learning a new way to cook. The venue was spotless, very clean and pleasant. Everything was provided, even aprons. I have attended 5 different classes over the last couple of years and enjoyed all of them. From Ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement) to cooking Seafood, Thai food and Meat cooked to Perfection, I highly recommend ClassBento and look forward to my next venture, the Dumpling making class next month.
  • 5/5 from Tom Burden, attended Mar 2022: Paul is an absolute gun and he is a legend to boot. To have such expertise in the kitchen makes these classes a must do. Everything you do and learn is clearly from years of cooking at Sydney’s finest restaurants (and some pretty great global eateries as well). The food you make is amazing and is made on super high quality tools. A late Christmas present to my partner which she absolutely loved. We will be benefitting from Paul’s knowledge for the rest of our culinary lives!

  • 5/5 from Wendy Keighran, attended Jun 2021: Great class to learn the cuts of meat, what to buy, and how cook. Best part for me was learning how to bbq then slice a steak to perfection. Chef Paul was very informative and professional, he gave us many tips for cooking all proteins.
  • 5/5 from Cameron Graf, attended May 2021: Paul was fantastic, friendly and super knowledgeable. He explained everything in very easy to understand language, and would answer all questions (and have a bit of a laugh too)!

  • 5/5 from Ella Rantos, attended Aug 2020: Learnt a lot about food handling and general safety. learn the best ways to cook different types of proteins. Due to COVID19 the classes are smaller to make things more controlled. everyone was able to wash their hands and sanitise frequently. Ate some lovely food at the end of the course from what we prepared. my only negative criticism is that there wasn't room for social distancing when being seated on the table.
  • 5/5 from Burnett Therese, attended Aug 2020: Convenient location, Covid clean practices, Paul excels at clear explanations, demonstrations, encouragement and enthusiasm. Professional presentation. Focus on protein. Feel confident to repeat at home after a trip to butcher.
