What a fun time I had with a great bunch of like-minded people and a very knowledgeable chef. I've not only picked up some wonderful recipes but also gained some valuable skills to use in my own kitchen. Now to work out what course to do next.

Caterina Piccolomini Nov 2023


We had a great evening and loved every dish we cooked. Our teacher was really helpful and fun, we learnt so much and ate some delicious food. Walking away very happy!

Susan Ellicott Nov 2023


My partner Terry and I thoroughly enjoyed our vegetarian cooking class with Paul last night. What a great teacher he is! So knowledgeable on technique and nutrition. We learnt so much from Paul on how to cook well (e.g., on ingredients, how to detect freshness, which oils and spices & the right temperature to use, how to cut corners and make cooking easy). The atmosphere was very conducive to students doing the cooking and to the teacher demonstrating. The meals we made were super delicious. Everything was very generously provided (including wine for those who wanted it). We ate the delicious food we cooked - and there was plenty to take home! I can't recommend this experience highly enough. Photo of super yummy roasted eggplant dish attached. We'll be coming back for sure!

Great fun, learnt a lot and the food was delicious. 10/10 evening. Couldn’t recommend it anymore

Lorna Obrien Nov 2023


Josh was brilliant he assisted us to creating a delicious paella. He was good humoured & experienced in his approach to teaching us. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. I’d highly recommend his class. Thank you for an informative & fun session. Lorna

Cooking class review by Lorna Obrien - Sydney

Rose Creagh Nov 2023


Our teacher Josh was excellent. We had everything we needed all set up and learned a lot of helpful tips and hacks along the way, and the food was delicious!

Ian Skinner Nov 2023


We had a great time at Taste of Tuscany. Brett was informative and entertaining.
The produce we had was high quality - and delicious. The recipes we did were easy enough to follow (with good instruction to help us along), but not too easy - so we had to keep focused to produce a tasty meal for ourselves.
You eat exactly what you cook - and we were pretty happy with what we created - as was everyone else.
Class sizes are fine and Brett was able to keep a good eye on how we were all doing, and give necessary pointers at the right time. Great fun and good learning.

Kaitlyn Marriott Nov 2023


The class was so much fun! Brett was so helpful, we learned so many tips and it was very hands on. It was excellent value for money and I would definitely recommend this class to others.

Georgina Ford Nov 2023


Ken was absolutely wonderful. He really made the experience lots of fun. Would highly recommend him

Rachel Keane Nov 2023


Mimi was just the loveliest teacher! The course was better than I had anticipated. I would definitely recommend any avid bakers to book this course

Kimberly Bellerby Nov 2023


We had the most amazing time with Ken!
Ken's enthusiasm and knowledge not to mention his comedy made for a great afternoon.
We really enjoyed all of the elements of the day, everything is well planned and thought of for the lesson.
This was our first class and we are definitely going to be back for more.
Thank you for a great afternoon.

Monica Cable Nov 2023


We thoroughly enjoyed the Thai cooking class with Pat. She was friendly, professional and very organized - and she made the experience fun. We loved cooking and tasting the food and could take home the leftovers - which made a delicious dinner that night!

Cooking class review by Monica Cable - Sydney

Keren Cleary Nov 2023


Teacher was great. But there is always one annoying person. Her real estate career didn’t enthrall me. Chef was amazing but I’m bad at QR codes. Pls can you send me recipes.

Debra Clarke Nov 2023


Fantastic course. Informative and entertaining from start to finish. Food was wonderful. Would highly recommend.

Natalia Pletneva Nov 2023


We had an amazing time in our Terrific Taco class. Brett is a great teacher and we enjoyed his class a lot. The ingredients used in cooking were of high quality, the kitchen was nicely arranged and everything was meticulously organised for an easy flowing class. The food was absolutely delicious and we brought some leftovers home which were still quite enjoyable the next day. Fun time out and well worth the money spent.

Vladimir Gligorovski Nov 2023


Really was good to do something interesting with a great teacher also the food was very prepared and tasty

Alison Snowden Oct 2023


The teacher, Josh, was very welcoming, enthusiastic, funny and inspiring. He was very knowledgeable but happy to listen to other people's opinions, experiences etc. The venue was fine and the class preparation efficient. Excellent ingredients. I
loved every minute of this event and would happily drive down to Sydney from port Macquarie to attend another one.

Karen Birch Oct 2023

Emma Coates Oct 2023


Brett was awesome, he told us all about how he got into cooking himself and made the cooking experience so fun and enjoyable.

Sally Gao Oct 2023


It was the best class I had ever done with Classbento. I love the 2 inches thick steak and the way Paul taught in the class.

Well done Paul, and still that question where can I buy the steak like the ones you used in the class as I tried my butcher -and they don’t have the similar product?

Paul Richardson Oct 2023


Fabulous experience. We did the Thai cooking class. The teacher was very knowledgeable and helpful, the meals were very authentic and tasted great. Portion sizes were very generous and we got to take home was was left over. Classes were the perfect size and the duration was excellent. Highly recommend

Kirsty Rokkas Pereira Oct 2023

The dumpling making class was enjoyable and informative. Ken is very professional, highly skilled and patient.

Katarina Ebejer Sep 2023


Everything was great, the only thing the girls said is they would rather have other kids their age (13) as all the other children were much younger. They said the class seemed like it was for littler kids. But they still enjoyed it a lot

It's fun + a bonus to bring 2 cake that we bake home.
Tried to make recipe at home and taste the same as in a class. Fail prove.

Coming into the class I was used to small knives (generally quite blunt) and was actually a little afraid of big sharp knives. Well I'm a changed person now. It's all in the hold and control. I never thought I would be so happy with chopping. Fabulous class. Would highly recommend. Paul was wonderful and knew his stuff. Class is 1.5 hours but easily could go on 2 hours with the many questions. The chicken salad is divine too.

Excellent course! Simple instructions to prepare tasty food. Enjoyed eating what we cooked.

Thank you.

James Toose Sep 2023


Our teacher Pat was very clear and encouraged us to enjoy the experience along the way by tasting as we cooked. All the preparation of ingredients for the 3 meals were perfect and very neatly arranged. Every step was explained and steps were demonstrated when necessary for clarity. Her enthusiasm was catching and no one in the room was made to feel inadequate. I learnt that Masuman was so much better making it from scratch than taking the easy way out, and so much more satisfying AND tasty

We had such a wonderful experience by joining the meat lovers class run by Paul. He is so experienced and patient on demonstration. Had a lot of meat and even came home with 2 contains meat. Thanks Paul! Just one point to mention: we don't know lots of terminology during the class we are not native speakers, which made it a bit hard for us to fully follow the instruction. But we indeed had lots of fun!

My 16 year old son and I thoroughly enjoyed Paul's class. We enjoyed learning about the science of the food and cooking methods, equipment and timing. Venue was open, airy, comfortable. We tucked into delicious salmon, pulled pork burger, ribs,brisket, salads, slaw and corn. There were also some to take home also. I recommend anyone looking to elevate their bbq techniques and to get the most value out of your cooking at home, to give this class a go.

Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and the food was delicious!

Japanese Street Food Cooking Class review by Prateek Singhai - Sydney

Evan Douglas Jul 2023


So much more than I could have expected.
I thought that it would just be something new to experience, mark it off a bucket list item and just maybe get a few tips in the kitchen.
But no, it was so much more. Beside learning some key techniques and learning to cook new foods never attempted before and being able to ask just about any question, if felt more like a social get together with a bit of education thrown in.
But the real surprise was at the end, when I found that the food I cooked out most restaurants to shame. Who would have thought, I could cook as good as a chef.

Ken was our chef for the dumpling class. He was thorough and had a great sense of humour. He talked us through all the steps and gave us a a brief history on Dumplings.
It was enjoyable and I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn the skill of making dumplings!

Laura Reynolds Jun 2023


We had a great experience at the Taste of Tuscany cooking class at Sydney Cooking School. We learned how to make a wide range of Italian dishes, such as Focaccia, Chicken Saltimbocca, Eggplant Parmigiana and Tiramisu. Along the way, our teacher Brett gave us some great general cooking tips and kept it fun and interesting. He was very personable and catered for the range of abilities in the class with encouragement and humour. It was also good to hear about his experiences working in France. At the end, we sat down and ate our creations with some good quality wine and conversation. There was so much food that we had doggie bags to take home! Everything, including ingredients, equipment and wine is provided for you. Overall I found that it was great value for money and I’d highly recommend to anyone, especially those who are craving a trip to Tuscany!

Good atmosphere and lively personality from teacher. The most hands on thing is the tortilla making, but other things are already done for you to make the process easier/quicker. This means the rest of the hands on activities are mostly just chopping. Some got to cook things for salsas but that won’t be the experience for all. Everything turned out great!

Mexican Cooking Class: Terrific Tacos review by Selena Chin - Sydney

Jason Denny May 2023


I grew up in a household that loved to cook. Most of the fundamentals were taught to me at a young age when I used to assist my parents with prep work. Fast forward twenty years and I've started cooking at home for my family and found myself questioning my knowledge on some of the basics (eg. am I honing this japanese knife correctly; is there a faster way to dice this onion; etc). This class reinforced what I was taught when I was in my youth which were just the basics plus I learned a few new tricks (preparing julienned capsicum and carrots). The instructor was super nice and helpful. Would recommend this class to anyone that wants to learn how to handle a knife safely in the kitchen; learn a few tricks; or speed up their prep work. Nothing fancy. Just the basics which is more than most people have under their belt!

Today I attended the Sweet Treats cooking class, and I must say it was a delightful and delicious experience. Morenna was highly knowledgeable and passionate about pastry making.

As someone with little cooking experience, it was a very enjoyable class for me and easy to follow. I can definitely see myself coming back for more classes at Sydney Cooking School in the future.

Brett Emma Feb 2023


What an amazing class. Received this as a Christmas Gift and what a great gift it was. From having a few drinks and a laugh, to learning about the science behind smoking and salt, to finally putting it all to test by making some pork ribs. Had a taste of some amazing food as well prepared by Paul. Would highly recommend and will go again.

Fantastic experience. I took my dad to the French Eclair Making Class as a birthday gift and we loved it. Our teacher was very welcoming, had everything set up for ease and efficiency, and took us through the process in an engaging way. She gave us some freedom but also helped to perfect our very own eclairs. I never thought I’d be able to create something so special, but now I’ve added eclairs to the repertoire! The almond spread eclair was the standout, absolutely delicious.

I took my teenage son to this class to further inspire his interest in cooking, and am very very glad to have done it!

Was a really brilliant boost for him, and I learnt a lot too. Great set up. Highly recommend.

Anne Roberts Feb 2023


We arrived with 5 mins to spare but the directions were great. We learnt about how Pat learned how to make her recipes and adapt them for her family and now for her students. We learnt lots of things about flavour, growing schallots from just the bulb (after you have used the leaves) and of course tasting throughout the process. Friendly, professional and just a lovely person to provide us with inspiration.

John Butler Dec 2022


Contextually while I am not a novice and generally a solid and slightly adventurous cook in a BBQ, I have never learnt the basics and have a real passion for learning how to cook “properly”. The Adult Cooking Course for Beginners proved to be perfect for me.
It always starts with the teacher and Paul was just great - personable, knowledgeable, practical, understanding and patient. For me personally his explanation of the “why” / the science behind what we were doing helped to cement what we were learning.
As to the content, it was a great introduction by taking a walk through of all the basics from knife skills to the different cooking techniques and mediums for a good selection of meals, with hands on participation rather than just observation.
The best measure of the quality of the course for me is that it fuelled my desire to cook more frequently, have the confidence to try more recipes, and to practice the techniques, and to want to take more of the classes that the school offers.
