About VIVE Cooking School
VIVE Cooking School is in The Cannery on Mentmore Avenue in Rosebery, about 15 minutes from the CBD and Sydney Airport. It runs hands-on classes led by professional chefs in a large teaching kitchen. Each class lasts three hours: the chef demonstrates every dish, you cook it yourself at a station shared with one other person, and the class ends with everyone eating together at a shared table. There are more than 30 classes on rotation, including pasta making, ramen, dumplings, Thai street food, Mexican, French regional cooking, macarons and bread baking. Beginners are welcome. For private groups, VIVE runs team building and celebration events for 2 to 30+ guests. The team handles the venue, chef and assistant, ingredients, aprons, dietary requirements, set-up and clean-up. You choose a menu from its range of cuisines, and guests work in teams of two to four per station. Corporate events start from $190 plus GST per person. Smaller groups of friends can book seats together in a public class, where most adult classes cost $160 to $220 per person, and gift cards can be used on any public class. VIVE is fully licensed and does not allow BYO, so drinks are bought during the class once the introduction is done. Common dietary needs are catered for if you give notice when booking, though some classes, such as pasta making, are not suitable for coeliacs. Wear comfortable closed-toe shoes, as you will be standing for most of the class, and bring takeaway containers for leftovers. Adult classes are for ages 16 and over.
