Find the Right Cooking Class in St Kilda

Cooking on the Bay - cooking classes in Melbourne

From $145pp

Pasta making, paella with a crisp socarrat and Moroccan spice blends all feature in classes led by a chef trained in Melbourne and France.

Getting Cooking Classes Right

French bistro dishes one week, fresh pasta or Moroccan spice the next: the menus at Cooking on the Bay follow the seasons and local produce. The school is at 45-46 Marine Parade in St Kilda, run by Tonya Jennings, a chef who studied at Holmesglen before further training in France.

Classes never exceed nine cooks, which keeps everyone at a bench and busy.

The class themes include:

French bistro.
Italian, where fresh pasta always features.
Spanish, from paella to pintxos.
Mediterranean and Moroccan menus.
Desserts, and the low-carb Cook Real Food program.

Prices begin from $145 per person, with the kit – aprons, knives and printed recipes – handed out on arrival.

The full-day class gets going at 8.45am, opening with a cuppa and a baked treat.
Lunch is served about 12.45pm – four courses the class has made, with wine – and the day ends close to 3.30pm.
The four-hour version wraps at 1pm, still with wine and a shared meal.
Pack a container for leftovers and come in closed shoes.

Bringing friends or family

Celebration of the Seasons is the festive class open to private parties of four upward.
Six or more can nominate a date of their own.
Friends who'd prefer not to cook may come for lunch at about 12.30pm.
The dining table looks over Port Phillip Bay, and a library of 3000-plus food books is on hand.
