  • ------------------------------------------
A small note for my first-timers - This is not a normal cooking school, nor is it a commercial business..
Before you proceed booking pls acknowledge the way we do things as explicitly advertised..
At Heavenly Morsel, guests will not find themselves seated at a bench with 15–40 others, cooking one or two generic recipes while watching other groups make the rest.
To preserve this high standard of learning, I have generously chosen to limit group sizes to just 8 guests per class. This ensures personal attention, a relaxed environment, and the time & space to truly engage with each dish—something large or commercial classes simply can’t offer.
At Heavenly Morsel, we teach a feast of elaborate, high-caliber dishes in an intimate group setting. Guests cook together, sharing tasks to ensure everyone is hands-on with every dish. No demonstrations in a crowded room —just immersive, practical learning.
Because of the complexity and number of recipes, it's not feasible for each guest to cook everything solo—but you will participate in every dish, and go home with generous portions of our entire feast, feeling confident and inspired.
If you prefer to cook everything yourself without group collaboration, we kindly recommend booking a private session.
However, our guests consistently say that Heavenly Morsel offers the most engaging & generous hands-on experience in Australia—especially in terms of the number of dishes taught for such a small group size of just 8 people.
••••••
Our signature classes are designed for serious food lovers who want to learn authentic, uncommon Indian recipes you won’t find circulating social media, tv, or at unauthentic cooking schools.
We proudly dedicate the full 4 hours to cooking, before neatly packing up your feast to enjoy relaxed at home.
Most guests are incredibly grateful & surprised with this generous amount of hands on teaching time and portion sizes instead of the usual cooking class style of teaching 2-3 generic recipes over 2 hrs and spending the rest of the 1 hr just dining on premise.
We absolutely have fun—but this is not a commercial social event. It’s a culinary experience crafted for those who truly want to deep dive into unique food. Please book mindfully.
••••••
Because you are entering my home for this special culinary experience, you are treated as my friend & guest.. not just a participant. This means you will be treated to my luxury complimentary grazing board to feast on provided free of charge with a range of free mocktails and beverages I prepare for you as a hostess gift at my discretion.
These extras & all the complimentary inclusions at our classes are not offered anywhere else in Australia, only at Heavenly Morsel at no extra charge, so I hope you enjoy our spectacular experience which has been articulated exactly as per advertised.
After A Class with a Seated Lunch Too? - Our Corporate classes, Private bookings and Seasonal events feature the full seated lunch after the masterclass - which you can book in. Contact me for dates.
Knowledge required
This is a beginner-friendly experience and makes great experience gifts for loved ones.
What to bring
I’d suggest eating a sufficient breakfast before our class, as our food will only be ready approximately at 3pm once it is all cooked.
Suitable for

This class is great for individuals and couples as well as for a date idea, team building activity, birthday or hens party.

Suitable for adults, and kids (minimum 14 years old).

Welcome to Australia’s Top Spice Cooking School – Heavenly Morsel Melbourne run by Australia's Spice Queen & Event Presenter 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.
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.
Fact:
There is simply NO cooking school in Australia who provides masterclasses with such a huge number of dishes, at the finest organic quality, with such uncommon high skilled dishes, for such a low price.
So why pay the same price or more elsewhere, to learn 1-2 common main dishes and a filler dish such as salad or dips, when you can learn a grand feast of SIX-SEVEN main dishes with Heavenly Morsel Melbourne!
Not only that, you also enjoy our complementary luxuries that are not offered anywhere else in Australia, such as our extravagant grazing board, unlimited house made mocktails and so much more! You’re not dreaming, this is just how I host and Heavenly Morsel is a passion project, rather than a business – so you enjoy my standard of hosting!
