Italian Cooking Class

Italian Cooking Class

Code: ALD121
  1. Valid for 12 months
  2. Free exchange

Cooking Italian in Melbourne is so easy - you just gotta learn how! Set in a 100 year old property, the atmosphere is perfect for absorbing the fascinating concepts. These first-generation Italians want to teach you how to utilise great Yarra Valley produce - it's Mediterranean for the modern world!

Cooking is as much an art as a science - so don't try to learn from a book! These Italians will show you how enjoyable cooking can really be, not through strict instruction but through sharing knowledge and enjoying your time together!

You'll prepare a three-course Italian meal (served with a glass of Yarra Valley wine) and then sit and enjoy it with your new friends in the class. We use fresh, seasonal produce sourced from the Yarra Valley, and we'll provide you with all the recipes so you won't have any trouble harnessing your new skills at home! Sit back with an Italian espresso coffee afterwards, and reflect on a job well done!

This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

    I was given the italian cooking class experience from my children for my birthday last year. My son decided to join me. We had a fantastic day, and came away with some great recipes that we have already tried out at home.

    Our day in the Yarra Ranges was brilliant, thanks to Frank, Hilda and their girls. It was both informative, hands on and relaxing, especially when our feast was served and we sat around toasting our successes and demolishing our three courses ....bellisimo!!!!

    It was fantastic. Learnt a lot. The people were very friendly & informative. The only thing I would've liked more would be to actually prepare & cook my own meal rather than preparing & cooking as a group. Definitely a 9 out of 10.

    My husband and I had a wonderful day. Our thanks to Hilda, Laurie and Melissa for their hospitality but most importantly the wonderful cooking lesson. I will be getting my past maker out of the box and giving it a good workout! The format was really great and not too taxing on those not used to being in the kitchen. Many thanks.
