At our cooking school, students learn from the best; not just traditional recipes, but also tips and tricks for preparing food in your home kitchen. All of this in our heritage-listed building in the heart of the ancient town!

All our classes are held in our cooking school; a 180-year-old heritage listed building in the heart of the old town. Each class includes a digital recipe book and a sit-down meal to enjoy your prepared items. Visits to our local market are an optional add-on.
