Best Cooking classs in Australia

A great place for team activity. The staff is very friendly and the chef is very professional. Recently, we had a team of 12 for the Singapore Chilli Crab cooking class. Everything was just on point. The cooking instructions were clean and easy to follow. The chef was funny and showed us step by step. Highly recommended!

Such a fun team building exercise! From experienced home cooks to people who don't know how to boil an egg, we all learnt really valuable skills, had fun with Chef Jodie, and ate ourselves silly at the end. Highly recommend the Singapore Chilli Mud Crab class, as it pushed us out of our comfort zones, and now we all know how to prep a crab without losing fingers!

We had a fantastic time creating amazing delicious dessert's.Jodie was a wonderful chef and teacher and not once did we feel .overwhelmed. We will definitely be back.

Cooking over 50 dinners with colleagues for those in need. Awesome experience and cause. Recommend to anyone wanting to give something back.

Thank you so much for sharing the love of food with us all on Saturday night. As you will have seen, everyone had a fantastic time and I didn’t hear any complaints about the food at all!! 😊 It was good to see a few team members out of their comfort zone and actually enjoying the fact!!

I’m relieved that everything went smoothly and it all worked out with the hotel as well, and what a lovely surprise it was that we were actually able to eat in the restaurant with our prepared food.

Please pass on our sincere thanks and appreciation to your lovely assistants as well.

I was truly happy to receive beautifully, carefully wrapped merchandise products from Vive Cooking School. My order was dealt with in a timely manner and I will enjoy using these bowls and plates, and the grater very much. Many thanks again, Jean Luc!

What a great way to spend an evening! Fun, educational and delicious! We did the Asian Street Food course on Fri 19th Jan, and had an absolute ball. We’re already planning out next foray into cooking. I would highly recommend getting a group of friends together and doing a VIVE cooking course. 😁👍🏼

It was a fun experience learning how to cook French food. The instructor was very knowledgeable and generous with her expertise. The space was organised well and well-lit.

The only slight disappointment is that we didn't realise the creme brulee was made by the instructor only, and that we wouldn't have the opportunity to use the blowtorch ourselves.

We had our work Christmas team event here and Jodie was our chef. It was such a fun class, fun music, we made beautiful food and Jodie took my phone and took beautiful photos of our whole team while we were cooking. Thank you!

Thank you for a wonderful experience and for helping us create a great shared memory for our Christmas Party. We had fun, learned some great cooking tips and shared a wonderful meal. Jodie and Serta were very engaging, professional, helpful and fun.

We would recommend this event to anyone looking for something a little different and with an interest in food and cooking.

The atmosphere was fun, the team work was great, the burgers tasted amazing, Wanitha’s energy was infectious. We had a great morning! Highly recommended

Took my team here for a work bonding event and we had the best time. The setup is amazing and perfect that we all surround each other as we’re cooking. The teacher was knowledgeable and organisation was like clockwork. One of the best bowls of Ramen I have ever had too!

We had such a great time at the Sunday Kitchen 'Breakfast Session' - it was fun, friendly, informative and delicious - and I've already made a few of the dishes at home. We'll definitely be back to do another of the sessions - thanks for such a tasty morning!

Waited a while for dates to line up for me to attend and I am so glad I did!!! Karima and Sivine are a dynamic duo with so much knowledge to share, but what makes this class special is the energy they bring and bond that they have - it’s like cooking with your own Lebanese family. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, with lots of personal insights and stories to share.

I did Breakfast and I loved everything we made. Although not a 100% hands on class you learn so much from watching their technique and you cover so many more recipes with the time you have.

Plus we tasted everything and it was AMAZING! Will definitely be back for another class!

Had a great fun time learning how to cook beef bourguignon, mash potatoes and chocolate mousse. Thank you to Jodie and Serta for this lovely experience.

The Molecular Gastronomy course was a fantastic experience. The staff were great, very experienced and friendly. The second photo is my attempt at a reverse spherification of beetroot and balsamic with frozen shaved gorgonzola and rosemary.

Had such an enjoyable night here learning how to make ravioli and past! The facilities at top notch with the best branded appliances and kitchen equipment. The staff are super friendly, knowledgeable and engaging.
We had such a nice evening!! Thank you ☺️☺️

Our team had a brilliant day at VIVE cooking school, even the non-cooks amongst us really enjoyed the day. Chef Stefan was great, informative and very entertaining, whilst keeping us on track! Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about attending a course. The team couldn't have been more helpful

My partner and I had a great time learning to make pasta with Mikiko! The experience was fun and Mikiko was sure to include everyone in an interactive way, even though everyone had different levels of experience (I'm not very experienced). I learned a lot of tips and tricks for working in the kitchen, and I was proud of the food we made - very tasty!

We arranged a small team building event and it was a complete success. It was simple to arrange and the chef on the night was fantastic; sharing her passion, keeping us entertained and improving all of our cooking skills along the way. We loved the cooking experience and were proud of the delicious meal we got to share at the end.

This a great cooking class that I would highly recommend! Our class was cooking like a Parisian. Our instructor, Jodie was excellent, guiding us through techniques and the process of making the dishes not found in books. The skills took us through the preparation, the process of putting the dishes together, and special cooking techniques. The food was delicious! The course gave me the confidence to cook the dishes, which I have since replicated, and the results were superb!

The school facilities are number one, with great high-end equipment. A great class for budding chefs, and a wonderful experience to share, as I did with my grandson. At the end of thec cooking session we all sat down to enjoy the dishes we had just cooked. I can't wait to return to try new dishes and skills. I highly recommend it!

This experience was such a refreshing take on dining. I was anticipating a cooking class, but this was different. It's a combination of cooking class meets restaurant experience, where you watch the chefs put their love and soul into the food they transform in front of you, smelling, feeling, tasting and feasting along the way.

It felt like we were in the home kitchen of Karima and Savine, watching them cook, tell stories, and opening up about their culture. It was really heartwarming and the food was spectacular. The cooking class element is hands on and we helped prepare one of the meals, but sitting there and watching them cook the rest was fine by me. The eggplant dip was out of this world, everyone couldn't stop talking about it, and the lamb dish was my absolute favourite.

Loved it, I'd totally take family and friends that are looking for something new to do in Sydney. At the end you can also shop homemade and imported ingredients, which you can't find elsewhere. Totally coming back to try another course.

We sat with a glass of wine soaking in the generational knowledge of a family who love to cook. We learnt so much and the food was amazing. We had a take home recipe booklet and we helped prepare a few dishes. We rolled ourselves out of this place over the moon, with full bellies and leftovers in a container.

In our private booking the guest of honour was vegan and the menu was adjusted to be entirely vegan. Karima was so accommodating with our requests and very easy to coordinate with.

What an amazing experience! Not your average cooking class but a cultural experience. The ladies were so genuine, the space is modern and chic and of course the food was to die for.

I can’t wait to try another class!

What a wonderful morning we had with Karima and Sivine.I learnt many great tips for perfecting my Hommus, my Spinach pastries and cooking with Favas. And of course I delighted in tasting the many flavours of a Lebanese city breakfast versus a country breakfast. I'll be cooking all the recipes for my friends soon!

ENORMOUS thank you to Victor and Wanitha, and your team.

The Tapas night was the BEST experience ever!!! It was 20/10.
Wanitha’s introduction and storytelling was 100% perfect – really inspiring and flowed from our strategy workshop that day as if she had been there!

Your whole team were so friendly, passionate and happy to teach and explain without judgment of our skills!!! We will definitely be back for another event down the track.

The Metro Aspire Hotel was a perfect venue and the bar manager, Fumi was so accommodating and lovely!

Thank you for making our team reunion so very special and memorable!

Dear Victor and JB

Thanks so much for the recipes and the photographs, which are a great reminder of a really fun evening. And thanks again for delivering the class with such knowledge, skill, charm and humour. Everyone had a blast.

Feedback: Victor was (as always) charming, personable, crystal clear, and effortlessly skilled. The instructions were easy to follow, the ingredients fresh and abundant, and the finished dishes were simply delicious. Charlie and Dom were blown away by how good it all tasted, and by the fact they had prepared and cooked everything! Jim was (as always) friendly, funny, helpful and super efficient at preventing the mess that might otherwise have eventuated!

It could not have been any better. (Except to have had Simon there as well!)

Thanks and much love,

Freddy

Hands on experience - great food and for a good cause. We ate it too 🤣

If you’re looking for a fun way to cook and also help people in need, here’s the place! Much love for this school.

I was extremely impressed with Bondi Social Cooking Class. Quality and food presentation was wonderful. Keep up the great work....

Great people and very enjoyable, lots of fun while you are learning. Highly recomended👍

A great night of fun learning some easy, tasty recipes with the added touch of giving to the community what a fantastic concept. I will certainly return again and again

This is an awesome event, you get to meet new people, cook amazing food and do good......There is nothing not to like. Especially in these trying times, it is great to be able to give back and do something for others whilst having a good laugh!.
Danni and Joe who run the cooking school are so inspiring and make you feel proud just to be around them.
Would highly recommend!

I have been to the cooking classes at least 4 times now, and I love them!

Its such a laid back atmosphere, and you get to cook with awesome people while knowing your efforts are going to a great cause. There isn't another cooking class that does anything like this.

The fact that you will feed someone who is homeless or doing it tough within the next 24 hours is truly amazing. I always want to help people and this is a great platform to be able to do just that.

Whats more, Danni and Joe who run the classes are just amazing, so supportive and create a really friendly and welcome vibe.

I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a cooking class that has more meaning to it than your average one, its really good value for money, and helps the community :)

Doing this class was such an enjoyable experience! Karima and Sivine make the day a thoroughly professional presentation and yet it also feels like you’ve just been invited into their home to be part of a beautiful family lunch and you are now part of their family.

Food is made using the freshest and most carefully selected ingredients, and every step taken is done with care for the food and love of the process.

Doing Sunday Kitchen was not just about learning to cook and eat the finished product, it was hearing the stories about why these dishes were chosen and the significance the dishes have had in the lives of Karima and Sivine. So many personal touches made this memorable.

I’ve eaten plenty of Lebanese food, and none I have had out and about compares to what I had here. I feel sorry for every Lebanese restaurant I go to because I always compare the Fattoush to what I had at Sunday Kitchen....no one ever comes close.

Can’t recommend highly enough!!!

We also received all the recipes and detailed instructions to help prompt what we learned for recreating at home. I can confidently say that I successfully made the most amazing eggplant dip we learned on the day, so thank you to Karima and Sivine for sharing your beautiful recipes and knowledge with us, Love you guys!!! Can’t wait to come again and learn some more.

I was honored to take part in one of the first Sunday Kitchen cooking experiences with the talented Karima and her beautiful mum Sivine.
I was blown away by their authenticity and love for creating traditional Lebanese dishes made with an abundance of LOVE and passion.
This was not your typical cooking class - It was an experience as Karima and her mum took us on a food journey as they shared with us their knowledge, heritage and skills to create traditional Lebanese dishes. They engaged all our senses involving us every step of the way through every dish.
Thank you for an unforgettable experience ladies. I now love cooking these special dishes at home for my family and friends ❤️

One of the best cooking experiences I've ever had. You can really tell how passionate Karima, her mum and aunty are about their Lebanese heritage and cooking. It was awesome to watch them prepare and cook and learn how to make some of the best Lebanese food I've ever tasted!!!! So fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back!!

Fantastic afternoon learning to cook wonderful Vietnam-ezy with the delightful chef and teacher Wanitha Tanasingam. Just loved it - and most of all eating it! Great fun for all in a stunning location. Fun, learned a lot and will be back for other classes!

Our team had a fantastic time at our cooking class. Victor and Juanita were consummate hosts and made the class fun and entertaining. We really enjoyed learning new techniques and working together on each dish. The food was delicious. (To the point that I could hardly believe it was cooked by us!) Highly recommend VictorsFood for team events.

We did this for a team building workshop and it was absolutely wonderful. It was a pop up, so they came to our location. The staff were great and explained the purpose of the activity, goals and outcomes and safety briefings. There was one chef per group and they explained the cooking and helped out a lot. We were provided with all ingredients, recipes and guidance to cook a variety of dishes to share for lunch. They also catered for dietary requirements and allergies really well. The food was good quality and delicious. Afterwards we cleaned up and shared the food together. It is wonderful for team building as you can forget the office space for a while and work together. Thoroughly recommended.
