Getting Cooking Classes Right

Learning to cook Italian from someone who grew up with it is the draw of Rosa's Traditional Italian Cooking. Anna Rosa, raised in Campania and at the stove since childhood, teaches from her house in Bundoora, where a handful of guests gather around steel benchtops and do every step with their own hands.

Expect stories between batches of dough, a relaxed pace and a dusting of flour on everyone by the finish.

Signature parts of a Rosa's class:

  • No more than 12 cooks and no fewer than 6, so Anna Rosa can check every pair of hands
  • A programme that changes each month – ragù over pappardelle one time, meatballs over fettuccine or a tray of lasagne the next
  • Italian sweets on the menu too, with some sessions given over entirely to cannoli, amaretti and ricotta crostata
  • A shared meal at the close, with a glass of wine or something soft, plus leftovers packed to take away
  • From $195 per person

Within the north, it fills a gap between dinner out and a party at home: the group spends the afternoon making the food, then enjoys it together at the table.

Group bookings with Anna Rosa

  • Book seats for your friends or relatives in a scheduled class, or ask Anna Rosa for a session just for your group
  • Have a dish in mind for a 50th or a nonna's birthday? Mention it when you enquire
  • Children get their own school holiday sessions making pizza, gnocchi or fettuccine
  • Flag allergies and diets in advance and the menu can often be adjusted

Good to know first

  • Nuts and gluten are used in this kitchen, so those with serious allergies should take care
  • Aprons on – this is a doing class, not a show to watch
  • The finale is the meal itself, eaten at a shared table
  • Each month brings new dishes, so check the schedule before choosing a date
