Find the Right Cooking Class in Sydney CBD & Surrounds

Getting Cooking Classes Right

For a cooking class within reach of the city, look south of the grid to Alexandria. Sunday Kitchen runs Lebanese home-cooking sessions there, led by mother and daughter Karima Hazim Chatila and Sivine Tabbouch.

It's a feast rather than a quick lesson: demonstration-led, plus some hands-on work, and everyone eating throughout.

Who in the CBD region it suits best:

  • City, Pyrmont and Ultimo workplaces planning a team day away from the office
  • Groups of 15 to 25 who want a private date and menu
  • Guests who eat halal, since all the food is halal
  • Anyone keen on Lebanese mezza, tahini fish or a za'atar breakfast
  • Milestone lunches that call for one long shared table

Sessions start from $250 per person. Buses link the city with Alexandria, and driving is easier there than in town.
