Whilst it was an enjoyable class, it wasn't as hands on as I was expecting. Everyone only cooked their own steaks, but all the other prep work was done by the chefs, with some (minimal) help from those attending the class. It would have also been a better experience if one of the chefs stayed near the BBQ when we were cooking the steaks to make sure we were looking out for the right things, and confirming we were doing it as they just taught.
The venue was not ideal as it was facilitated on the deck at the Indooroopilly Hotel. Therefore there was regular car and train noise which meant it was very hard to hear the instructors at times. It also meant we had to walk downstairs whenever we needed to use the bathroom.
Firstly, I expected the lesson to be held in a proper kitchen environment. Instead the course was held on the balcony of a pub with tables covered with plastic wrap. The balcony is opposite the train station and next to a main road so the location isn’t great when trying to listen to the chef.
The chef demonstrated how to make the dough, but we didn’t get a chance to try it ourselves, which was a major goal for most attendees. I understand the dough needs to ferment however the attendees should still practice until the consistency is correct.
During the course we ran out of pizza sauce and were forced to use bbq sauce instead. About half of the attendees had to use BBQ sauce for their pizzas, which is unacceptable for a masterclass session $140. 2 pizza ovens for 17 people was also not ideal.
I also expected to learn techniques on how to shape the pizza correctly and create a crust etc but none of this was really covered. Additionally, when it came time to put the pizzas in the oven, there was very little direction and more than half of the pizzas were burnt. I’m not sure if the chef was unfamiliar with the pizza ovens but there was no supervision to create a perfect pizza.
Overall, the experience was far below expectations, definitely not worth the cost. You will gain no knowledge on how to cook a pizza at home other than the basic process which can be found online.
After enjoying the Meat BBQ course, I dared to venture on
to the Seafood course. So glad I did. I will have to practice
and absorb all learnt before moving on to the Smoking courses.
A big thanks to Julian, Steph and our chef, Drew of Canberra.
Great fun, fresh food and great people. My kind regards, Phil

Morenna is very helpful with the enrolment process. I recommend any of the classes at Sydney Cooking School as a really fun evening out with delicious food to eat. There is always plenty of food and a glass of wine and at the end we sit down together to enjoy our creations. Try it and discover a great place in Sydney that gives you so much more than a nice meal, it actually allows you to recreate that meal at home for your loved ones.






Paul inspired us with his knowledge and experience and now we have more confidence to cook seafood on the BBQ.


Can't wait for summer to finally hit Sydney so we can blow out our friends' tastebuds and show off what we learnt!


I have had a love affair with the ocean and its produce all my life and I learnt some great new recipes and very good tips which will change the way I prepare and cook seafood in the future.
Thanks Paul and team and congratulations.
Maybe to try the meat bbq as they sure can't cook Seafood.



Can’t wait to do the Spanish paella & tapas course.
Thanks Paul and team for a great night.

Pulled Port
Finishing up with Strawberry & margaritas.
A very enjoyable day.


Thoroughly enjoyable . Will certainly do some more classes. Highly recommend. A very professional company.




Plenty of help along the way to ensure our success
The best lesson is the organisation and care it takes to prepare good food and the pleasure in sharing it



Essentially it came down to the fact they don't accomodate people who have disabilities or may need help unless you are prepared to pay for 2 spots - I understand this is their perogative amd the main issue I was lead to believe, is around a non-paying person taking the space that a paying customer could. I get this, they are a business and this makes sense. But what about looking at dates and offering for someone who needs support to attend a cooking session that is not full so that the helper is not taking the spot of a paying customer?
I asked why didn't they just say it wsn't possible from the beginning instead of wasting mine (and their own) time and was told 'we didn't want to say no'.
Overall very poor form - if you can't accomadate people with disabilities without needing to charge for a spot please just say this upfront please.




Instructor was pretty funny and we had a few laughs, but that’s not worth what we’re paying for, sorry! ????♀️
