Melbourne's Best and Most Authentic Indian Cooking Class with the Spice Queen: Tanya Carneiro. This is one unforgettable culinary experience you don't want to miss!Whether you're a beginner who's keen to build up confidence in the kitchen or you consider yourself a bit of a master chef, this unique and fun experience could be a great option for you! Enjoy a feast of your own creation at the end surrounded by your fellow cooks.Heavenly Morsel procures only the freshest, most premium ingredients including free-range meats and premium, sustainable Aussie seafood.-------------------Before you arrive, as mentioned on our platforms - please acknowledge the way we do things..as we will strictly not tolerate compensation seekers or defamatory reviewers who try claim money through stating the description not matching the labour intensive & extravagant 5 star rated experience we provide. This is extremely rare for us, but like all service businesses we come across these individuals too & have noticed an increase in this within the arts crafts service industry recently. If you are seeking a cooking class where you stand behind a bench at your station, the whole time cooking a basic designated recipe from the menu & just following a chef the whole time, this is not the class for you. Heavenly Morsel's much loved hands-on high detailed class structure, operates very differently, the special food you learn at Heavenly Morsel classes, is high skilled & not your ordinary dishes.. so it must be taught with everyone’s attention where we cook every dish one at a time as a group with my guidance, so everyone goes home with their large portion of our luxurious feast, feeling confident they have learnt every dish. Because I have limited these classes to a micro class of 8ppl max, you benefit from a very hands-on cooking intensive experience feeling like its a 1-1 with me, instead of sitting at your bench just taking notes down / watching others cook.Heavenly Morsel is for those serious about learning my unique, non-common authentic recipes unlike basic dishes taught elsewhere, from cook books or online regurgitation, which is why we spend the full 4 hours cooking a feast before packing your very generous portion of the dishes to take home and enjoy...It would be a breeze for me to do the industry standard of teaching you 3 basic items over 2hrs before spending the rest of the 1hr just sitting & dining at my venue… but that is not how I operate nor is it my benchmark. Because you are entering my home for this special culinary experience, you are treated as my friend & guest not just a participant. This means you will be treated to my luxury complimentary grazing board to feast on provided free of charge with a range of free mocktails and beverages I prepare for you as a hostess gift at my discretion. We are the only cooking school to offer these gifts whilst you cook, elsewhere the standard is that participants are expected to wait until the very end before eating what is cooked. It truly is a beyond value culinary experience from the food to the offerings such as limiting my hands-on classes to a micro number of 8 guests instead of cramming in 15-40 ppl reducing hands-on cooking, using the finest organic produce you'd find at chef-hatted restaurants and placing a huge number of main dishes in each class.  So I hope you appreciate this intimate masterclass ahead of us & I look forward to cooking with you & sharing my passion project.
