Find the Right Cooking Class in South West Sydney

Getting Cooking Classes Right

South West Sydney covers a lot of ground, from the Bankstown and Padstow area out towards Liverpool and Campbelltown, so where a cooking class sits matters when guests are coming from across the region. The cooking school on Party Hero for South West Sydney so far is In Cucina Cooking Academy in Padstow, on the region's eastern side. It is an Italian school that has been teaching for around ten years, specialising in wood-fired cooking, with classes in pizza, breads, meat and seafood, pasta, gnocchi, risotto and pastry. That makes the choice here less about which suburb and more about which format suits your group: a public class you join, or a private class run just for you.

Planning a class from anywhere in the south west:

  • Getting there: the school is on Gow Street in Padstow, close for groups on the region's eastern side and a longer drive from the outer south west, so carpooling is worth arranging.
  • The experience: classes are hands-on and focused on home-style dishes, and the public pizza class runs for about three hours with an internationally accredited pizza chef.
  • Group size: public pizza classes take six to ten people, so a larger group is better suited to a private class.
  • 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 finish with the meal you cooked.

Public pizza classes start from $150 per person, and the wood-fired meat and seafood class starts from $180 per person. Private classes suit birthdays, hens and bucks groups, anniversaries and work teams, with a menu chosen from the standard options, combined, or written for your group.

Public class or private class

  • Public class: a good fit for a small group of friends, with six to ten people per class and a take-home dough recipe and dough balls.
  • Private class: about three hours for your group alone, including the meal at the end.
  • Custom menus: private groups can combine standard menus or have one written for them.
  • Masterclass: a six-hour professional session for aspiring pizza makers, run for one to six people.

Planning from across the region

  • Private classes are weekday only, so a work team or a weekday celebration fits best.
  • Allow extra travel time for guests coming from the outer south west to Padstow.
  • Public classes are for over-16s, which matters for a family group with teenagers.
  • Everyone at a private class receives a laminated copy of the recipes to cook again at home.
