Top Tasmania Cooking Classes

The setting was a breath of fresh air, with windows overlooking the garden and beehives, and the scent of herbs wafting through the space, it felt like cooking in a dear friend’s home. The small group meant a more hands-on approach and Chef, Peter took time with each of us, imparting his professional wisdom and encouragement. We learnt to transform humble ingredients into stunning and approachable meals and gained a treasure trove of tips and tricks. Conveniently located near public transport, the venue made getting there a breeze. And after the meal? A short stroll led us to the beach, where we walked off our feast with the sound of waves and a serene horizon—an unforgettable way to end the day. Thank you, Peter.

Chef was SO terrific and talented in what he does. The way that he opens up his home to you and makes you feel like a true VIP is something that has remained in our hearts. A must do if you're ever in Hobart! He provides copies of the recipes that had been tailored to our amazing morning with him. We felt so inspired that we even went home and bought the same sous vide machine that he had to replicate the delicious salmon!

Peter provided a wonderful culinary experience for all of us. The menu was varied, interesting and challenged our skills in different ways. We all love cooking and we each came away with some ideas. Peter was precise, well organised and entertaining. We also appreciated his attention to food safety.

It was a gratifying experience to learn from a chef with such experience and as nice as him. We really learned good cooking techniques and recepies we’ll surely take home.

It was a fabulous experience. Peter was so well prepared with our request for only Vegetarian dishes. He was so professional and taught us so much, sharing his expertise as a professional Chef with warmth and generosity. A birthday treat my partner loved. As for the lunch of our combined efforts it was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommended! . An awesome experience !

Thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Peter for the cooking experience. He clearly loves his profession and passed on many tips and tricks during the class. Suitable for all levels. Four of us in class. We were then able to dine on what we had made. An absolute bargain and one of the best classes I have taken for some time. Highly recommend. Easy to catch a bus out to Taroona.

Learning new techniques and being given the opportunity to try ‘hands on’. Peter was a great teacher, made sure everyone understood what was happening, and was given the chance to have a go

I enjoyed this class because the atmosphere was very relaxing and I learned so much from Peter. He taught us so much in a few hours. I also enjoyed eating the food after. It felt so relaxing like having lunch with old friends. I am going home with new exiting knowledge, and the confidence to put it into practice. I would definitely recommend this class.

We highly recommend this 5 hour 'Cook Like a Pro' experience. The meals were prepared from fresh local produce, and we were instructed by Peter, a highly skilled and professional chef. It was an enjoyable experience, and we learnt many new cooking skills in a very short time. Certainly, was one of the highlights of our trip to Tasmania.

So happy we stumbled upon Cook Like A Pro In Taroona when searching for things to do in Hobart. It was one of the many highlights of our trip. Great value for money, food was absolutely amazing and we walked away with the confidence that we could recreate what we cooked at home. Pete’s professionalism, expertise and friendly nature made the day so enjoyable. Will definitely be back next time in Hobart!!!

Sensational and value for money. Learnt new skills and cooking methods. Peter was incredibly generous sharing his expertise and an interesting conversationalist Above all menu was top shelf

Pete did a super great job. He adjusted the slant of the class to my interests and needs. He’s the “real deal” as far as pro cooking. Has cooked for The Queen and Heads of State.I was the only person in the class that day. Nobody else signed up. Pete still held the class for me… which likely is not the most profitable thing for him but is indicative of a high degree of integrity.I know little of cooking. The gap between our levels of expertise was laughably huge. It was interesting hanging out in the kitchen and on the deck. We talked of many topics: Tasmania; economics; history; immigration; social; travel; tourism and touring; wildlife.Sign up if you’re interested.

Having experienced cooking classes in both Italy and France, I would rate Chef Peter's as a five star experience all the way. His technique and experience is inspiring as is his farm to table mentality. We would highly recommend this class to anyone who has any interest in Tasmania's

It was great to work with a chef in a domestic kitchen. All the little tips along the way were great take home messages.

What a Chef!!. Overall a great experience. Gave you all the info you needed and let you make the meal. Excellent food. All fresh. Great direction. Very, very nice man.

My son and I had a fabulous morning in Peter’s kitchen. He was professional, friendly and informative. We have brought home the recipes and feel confident that we can reproduce them again. Highly recommend!
