Ken was great! A lot of knowledge and he catered well for all skill types. You felt like you were doing great even if you weren't. The food itself was fantastic, best dumplings I've ever had and the sauces were to die for.

Lovely teacher, well paced and good set up. Felt the hands on and demo time was well balanced. Loved that we got to make our own tarts from start to finish. They are very tasty too
Caleb Heng
My partner and I attended the Very Vegetarian cooking course on 09/01/20 with Paul as our teacher. We were both very impressed by his culinary knowledge and approachability to ask questions.
All materials and ingredients were provided and some were prepared to help the speed of the cooking process. Paul made sure to go through how to prepare those items too. The recipes were easy to follow and absolutely delicious.
Also, we both especially enjoyed the simple pro tips of preparing certain ingredients more efficiently by Paul.
Susan Subrata
Chef Mayumi was amazing. She made the class so fun and enjoyable by getting everyone involved, she also gave useful tips along the way.
My tarts looked amazing and tasted so yummy. Will definitely recommend this class for anyone who likes sweet treats and want to learn some baking skills.
Dean Coleman
Fantastic venue, and equipment. The teacher was brilliant. He really made it feel easy, and not too complicated for a poor cook like me.
It was also nice to enjoy a glass of wine too.

Meat, Cooked to Perfection Cooking Class
What an awesome experience. Paul provided a very informative class as we enjoyed our time cooking a feast! We will be chefs in no time! Can’t wait to go back to Sydney Cooking School to try another cuisine.
Lawrence White
Very enjoyable and informative class. Comfortable classroom. Enjoyed eating the food and bringing some home as well.
We will definitely be cooking some of the dishes at home and looking into more recipes that use loomi. All of the other spices will be fairly easy to source.
Michael Yates
Spanish Paella and Tapas Cooking Class
Paul, who ran the class, was passionate about what he was showing and the resultant enthusiasm from the participants was obvious. Great clean venue, well organised, simple to follow. Ready to take on another class. I am not sure how you could improve the experience.
The Paella was excellent as was the vegetable tortilla.
Mary Larkin
The class was a great combination of well selected recipes and clear and informative instruction including excellent techniques and explanations to match. Paul balances pace with the opportunity to practice and engage.

Veronica Reitano
We did the Dumpling Making class. Our teacher Ken made the class fun, informative and took his time explaining each process. It was fabulous all we had to do was turn up all the ingredients were provided and the best part was we got to eat what we made. Ken at all times made sure to include everyone in the class. Overall a great experience
Ella Rantos
Meat, Cooked to Perfection Cooking Class
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.
Burnett Therese
Meat, Cooked to Perfection Cooking Class
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.

Pasta and Gnocchi Cooking Class
My friends and I had a great time at the pasta and gnocchi class! The teacher was very knowledgeable, friendly and approachable, and made the whole experience fun. We made a few different types of pasta and gnocchi, which were all so delicious. We were given the recipes to take home, as well as our own hand made pasta. The venue was COVID safe so we were all physically distanced and hand hygiene was strongly encouraged throughout the evening. Overall, great experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Paella cooking class last night. Paul was fabulous giving us a hands on experience with loads of great cooking tips. The process was fun and the meal we created was five star! Highly recommend it.
Frances Macdonald
Our teacher demonstrated and explained very well.
she taught us how to deal with the more exotic ingredients and where to buy them.she engaged us all, and the food was very delicious.
she gave alternatives to some parts of the recipes if they might be very spicy.i helped prepare the second helping of Green salad, after she had demonstrated this.
i would definitely recommend this experience.

Ken was a great teacher. He was knowledgeable, organised, very personable and ran the class efficiently. The food was delicious and we have come away wanting to make dumplings again for ourselves ASAP.

teacher was great. would have been better to 1) make more dumplings (quantity); 2) actually practice making the dough.

This was such a fun class! We learned how to make four different types of dumplings including gyoza and wonton PLUS two delicious dipping sauces. Our teacher was so friendly and supportive throughout the class. I cannot wait to try making these dishes again at home.
Tim Walsh
Ken was a great teacher. The room was all set up when we got there and there was a good variety of options in terms of the food and Ken said he would make accomodations for any allergies or preferences. Ken was patient and informative and we learnt how to make 3 kinds of dumplings and 2 sauces. Would recommend this class to anyone who likes eating dumplings
Thomas Angove
Really good. I learned so much, even little things. Like, and this is dumb, but how to cut onions like a freaking pro.
More than that it made me WANT to cook more dumplings for my mates. Excellent and well recommended.

A little slow in the beginning but loved the class once we got more hands on!
Olivia Hubber
Japanese Street Food Cooking Class

We learnt how to make some authentic dishes that were absolutely delicious! Ken was a great teacher and explained things so well. Would highly recommend, was so much fun!
Danielle McDonald
Paul was a wonderfully clear and well paced teacher. He was very knowledgeable and he made every recipe seem achievable. Although we only had hands on tasks for the chocolate fondant and the filling of the peach crumble the dessert were all delicious.
Denny-Lyn Dixon
Teacher was fantastic- we learned a lot - I am definitely booking for another class - thank you!
Denny-Lyn Dixon
The teacher was friendly and fun and really thorough. He packed in so much in the time we were there - I learned a huge amount. Had my son and his friend and they were a bit dubious beforehand but had loads of fun making and eating dumplings and said they would definitely do again.
