Getting Cooking Classes Right

Padstow, in Sydney's south west, is home to In Cucina Cooking Academy, an Italian cooking school on Gow Street. The school has been teaching for around ten years from a recently renovated kitchen and event space, and its speciality is cooking in wood-fired ovens. Classes began with pizza, sourdough and other breads, meat and seafood, and now take in pasta, gnocchi, risotto and pastry as well. The focus is on home-style dishes you can make again in your own kitchen, and for a birthday, hens or bucks group, anniversary or work team, a private class finishes with everyone sitting down to the meal they cooked.

What to know before you book:

Getting there: the kitchen is on Gow Street in Padstow, a local trip for groups in the south west.
The experience: the public pizza class runs for about three hours with an internationally accredited pizza chef, and you take home a laminated dough recipe and dough balls.
Group size: public pizza classes take between six and ten people, while private classes are run for your group alone.
Booking lead time: private classes run Monday to Friday, mornings or afternoons, and the school suggests enquiring eight to ten weeks ahead.
Food and drinks: the public pizza class includes ingredients, food and wine, and private classes end with the meal you made.

The public pizza class starts from $150 per person, and the wood-fired meat and seafood class starts from $180 per person. For a private class you can keep to one of the standard menus, combine a few, or have a menu written for your group, and everyone goes home with a laminated copy of the recipes. Birthday groups get a small surprise added on the day. Public classes are for over-16s.

Pizza: the easiest way in, built around the wood-fired oven and a dough you can recreate at home.
Meat and seafood: a wood-fired class for groups who want to go beyond pizza.
Pasta, gnocchi and risotto: part of the wider menu, and easy to combine with other dishes in a private class.
Professional masterclass: a six-hour session for aspiring pizza makers, run for one to six people.
