CONLAN’S COOKING CLASSES INFORMATION

Our cooking school offers classes to suit all levels of
cooking & are catergorised accordingly;

TALK & TASTE

(short discussion classes)
~
Our established ‘Talk & Taste’ classes are a great way to meet new people, have a chat & learn about food & wine along the way. The topics for these classes are ‘food & wine pairing’ & ‘cheese & wine pairing’, as well as the occasional themed class, think ‘Bastille Day’ - French food & wine pairing. These classes are only conversational, no hand-on. We talk & taste 5 drinks & 5 canapes. The classes run for 90-120 minutes and are limited to 10 people only. Ideal for pairs, small groups or individuals.
Price $60 per person for the cheese & wine / $70 per person for the food & wine pairing (may vary according to the subject)

FUN WITH FRIENDS

Our Conlan’s standard cooking class is a 3-4 hours hands-on cooking class for a maximum of 10 guests, which covers a broad range of recipes & techniques. There is an opportunity for you to see each & every step of all recipes while working on different dishes at the same time. The standard cooking classes are interactive, chatty & fun. The class includes lunch or dinner (depending on the time of class) a glass of wine & a recipe booklet. Ideal for pairs, or small groups, but also fun for solo attendees - Price $140 per person. The standard cooking class also has an option to invite a friend or partner to join you for lunch/dinner at the conclusion of the class.
