Cooking Classes in Glebe

Getting Cooking Classes Right

From a shopfront on Glebe Point Road to the mezzanine of Sydney Fish Market, Glebe's cooking classes are pitched at people who would rather cook together than book a restaurant table.

At Shop 4, 166 Glebe Point Road, The Coastal Italian doubles as a homewares store, and its evening and weekend classes turn out fresh pasta from $80 per person. Down on Bridge Road, Sydney Seafood School fills a tiered auditorium, a dining room and rows of fully fitted benches, with classes from $90 per person.

Getting the Glebe booking right:

Shop 4, 166 Glebe Point Road: The Coastal Italian, where chef Davide draws on close to two decades in restaurant kitchens
Mezzanine of Sydney Fish Market, 1 Bridge Road: Sydney Seafood School, staffed by a team of seafood specialists
Ngara, beside the seafood school: an event space looking over Blackwattle Bay that can follow on from a private class
Weeknights: midweek pasta classes on Glebe Point Road start at 6pm and finish by 8.30pm
Weekend mornings: The Coastal Italian's masterclasses and regional classes start at 10am and last three hours

Heading to the fish market, the school's advice is to budget for parking or come by public transport, and closed, non-slip shoes are a must at its benches.

Pasta for Beginners evenings suit a group where nobody has rolled dough before
Single-dish midweek sessions and spaghetti sauce nights are the shorter weeknight options
Antipasto and a complimentary Italian drink come out as you cook; the venue isn't licensed and BYO alcohol isn't allowed
The class finishes at the table, sharing the meal the group has just cooked
