In this hands on cooking class I am sharing and teaching new cooking techniques in a fun & safe environment.
I strongly believe in local, seasonal products including my own organic vegetables, herbs, honey and eggs to produce a restaurant style 4 course lunch.
The cooking class is designed to give you the confidence to produce the same menu at home without expensive equipment and tools.
The experience includes all recipes & a little gift

Culinary wisdom... memorable experience
The setting was a breath of fresh air, with windows overlooking the garden and beehives, and the scent of herbs wafting through the space, it felt like cooking in a dear friend’s home.
The small group meant a more hands-on approach and Chef, Peter took time with each of us, imparting his professional wisdom and encouragement. We learnt to transform humble ingredients into stunning and approachable meals and gained a treasure trove of tips and tricks.
Conveniently located near public transport, the venue made getting there a breeze. And after the meal? A short stroll led us to the beach, where we walked off our feast with the sound of waves and a serene horizon—an unforgettable way to end the day. Thank you, Peter.

VIP culinary experience
Chef was SO terrific and talented in what he does. The way that he opens up his home to you and makes you feel like a true VIP is something that has remained in our hearts. A must do if you're ever in Hobart! He provides copies of the recipes that had been tailored to our amazing morning with him. We felt so inspired that we even went home and bought the same sous vide machine that he had to replicate the delicious salmon!
Operator response
Thank you Melanie for your lovely comments and feedback, I am very pleased you enjoyed the experience and hope you been inspired to try my recipes using our new sous vide device.
Best wishes,
Peter

Peter provided a wonderful culinary experience for all of us. The menu was varied, interesting and challenged our skills in different ways. We all love cooking and we each came away with some ideas. Peter was precise, well organised and entertaining. We also appreciated his attention to food safety.

Culinary experience
Thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Peter for the cooking experience. He clearly loves his profession and passed on many tips and tricks during the class. Suitable for all levels. Four of us in class. We were then able to dine on what we had made.
An absolute bargain and one of the best classes I have taken for some time.
Highly recommend.
Easy to catch a bus out to Taroona.

I enjoyed this class...
I enjoyed this class because the atmosphere was very relaxing and I learned so much from Peter. He taught us so much in a few hours. I also enjoyed eating the food after. It felt so relaxing like having lunch with old friends. I am going home with new exiting knowledge, and the confidence to put it into practice. I would definitely recommend this class.

Fabulous food and a wonderful hands-on experience.
We highly recommend this 5 hour 'Cook Like a Pro' experience. The meals were prepared from fresh local produce, and we were instructed by Peter, a highly skilled and professional chef. It was an enjoyable experience, and we learnt many new cooking skills in a very short time. Certainly, was one of the highlights of our trip to Tasmania.
Operator response
