What you'll do

A brand new release for 2024 from Heavenly Morsel- join this special limited edition event showcasing the historic banana leaf thali, from the south of India.

Fire up the soul with our stunning feast-worthy dishes from the various regions of India - perfectly curated into menus for this seasonal event.

An Indian Thali ("plate") is a complete meal with rice, bread, vegetables, lentils, and a sweet dish. All are served on a single platter, in this case a jumbo banana leaf.

Banana leaves are not for aesthetic, or design - they are highly nutritious. Serving hot food on banana leaves enhances nutritional value as the heat releases antioxidants and essential nutrients, promoting better digestion and immune health. They also possess natural antibacterial properties that can help in reducing the risk of bacterial infections, the list of benefits is endless.

Calling all Melbourne foodies! Discover South India's culinary delights in this hands-on cooking class with Heavenly Morsel - Melbourne's Best Indian Cooking Classes.

South Indian cooking spans across the tip of India from Kerala with its repertoire of sumptuous seafood dishes to Hyderabad - the home of Royalty. Here you will find the food rich and flavorful with flavours ranging from spicy to sour to sweet. A stark contrast to North Indian cooking - this is a coastal paradise in culinary form.

Coconut lovers will rejoice in this class which features a spectacular menu of soul-warming, scrumptious curries, vegetable dishes, and grand rice pilaf to bind the feast together.

We teach over 300 signature recipes across our masterclass types, meaning you can book this same region's class over 40 times and learn brand new menus.

Fact:

There is simply NO cooking school in Australia who provides masterclasses with such a huge number of dishes, at the finest organic quality, with such uncommon high skilled dishes, for such a low price.

So why would you pay the same price or more elsewhere, to learn 1-2 common main dishes & a filler dish such as salad or dips, when you can learn a grand feast of SIX-SEVEN showstopping main dishes with Heavenly Morsel Melbourne!

Not only that, you also enjoy our complementary luxuries that are not offered anywhere else in Australia, such as our extravagant grazing board, unlimited house-made mocktails and so much more!

You’re not dreaming, this is just the gold standard I hold Heavenly Morsel at, which is a passion project rather than a business – so book yourself in for a class & see why we are Australia’s top spice cooking class.

----------------------

Before you book, please acknowledge the way we do things.

If you are after a cooking class where you stand behind a bench at your station, cooking a couple of designated recipes from the class 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 food you learn at Heavenly Morsel classes is so high skilled, unique and extraordinary it must be taught in intimate groups where we cook every dish one at a time as a group with my guidance, so everyone goes home feeling confident they have learned every dish.

Everyone has a contribution by participating in every dish & those who are particularly excited about a specific dish can do more of that one! Plenty of hands-on cooking and learning awaits you.

Heavenly Morsel is for those serious about learning interesting and non-common food unlike what is taught everywhere else, and from cookbooks, which is why we spend the full 3.5 hrs cooking a feast and then packing the dishes to take home and enjoy reheated with your family - instead of me teaching you 3-4 items over 2 hrs and spending the rest of the 1 hr sitting and dining.

You will have a taste of each dish as it's prepared warm, and also my luxury complimentary grazing board to feast on, provided FREE of charge with a range of mocktails, herbal teas and beverages I prepare for you as a hostess gift. Absolutely nothing is to purchase at Heavenly Morsel, it's all provided for free and unlimited!

It truly is a beyond value cooking class and I am very lucky to be in a position to offer this free for all my guests including the other bonuses such as organic produce and a huge number of main dishes in each class, instead of just salads or dips.

Note- Corporate classes and team building activities at Heavenly Morsel feature the seated lunch after the masterclass - this is called the seated lunch masterclass package.

You are receiving all of the above luxuries which are ONLY offered at Heavenly Morsel, for the best ticket price in the country. The only aspects factored into your ticket price are the signature recipes and cost of ingredients. Everything else is complimentary free of charge from Heavenly Morsel for you to enjoy.

It's truly a luxury for you and Heavenly Morsel goes above and beyond to provide these extras for free.

What to bring

Absolutely everything and more is provided at our luxury classes, so do not worry about bringing a thing!

After our class, you will take home all the food we prepare in containers I provide, so you can enjoy the feast with your family/friends at home. Feel free to warm up the food once home if you prefer it hot.

This is the fairest way of ensuring every participant in our intimate class leaves with an equal share of the delicious food (as opposed to some people eating their portions and wanting to take extra home vs those who just want to take their dishes home).

Heavenly Morsel teaches a huge range of main dishes (no salads or dips to fill out menus) hence why we utilise the full 3.5hrs for cooking our unique dishes, as opposed to only 2hrs cooking a couple of dishes, and then dining at the venue for the remainder of the time.

This is much appreciated by all our guests who come to learn our signature dishes as opposed to the ordinary taught dishes elsewhere that don't require a lot of cooking/learning time!

You will also be able to have a taste of all the dishes during the class as things are ready, and at the end as you serve your dishes into the bowls.

Throughout the class, you will have my complimentary luxury grazing platter and a range of complimentary beverages to consume, fret not about leaving hungry!

Suitable for

This class is great for a team building activity, Christmas party or hens party.

This experience would also be a unique gift for her or gift for mum.

Welcome to Australia’s finest & best valued cooking school – Heavenly Morsel Melbourne run by Australia's Spice Queen Tanya Carneiro.

A luxury, unforgettable cooking class experience which brings to light, the complex & highly sophisticated cuisine of Regional Indian Cuisine.

With over 300 signature, authentic dishes you will learn the art of Indian cuisine and cooking with spices.

Heavenly Morsel procures only premium organic produce, wild caught seafood, organic meats and the country’s finest ingredients – at no extra cost to you.

It takes near a lifetime, to master the intricate art of cooking with Indian spices. Every seed, spice & grain has its purpose, a balancing act of complex & specific spices form every dish. Nothing is added for ‘aesthetic’.

Every dish you learn at Heavenly Morsel is complex & compelling- oscillating between the dynamic flavours of regions across the subcontinent.

Heavenly Morsel is a ONE cuisine specialist cooking school for all individuals who consider themselves a passionate cook, foodie, culinary aficionado or just zealous about sensational sumptuous food.

Tanya proudly opened Heavenly Morsel Melbourne, with the vision of bringing authentic Regional Indian cooking into the spotlight, through bespoke luxurious class settings where one can relax & be taken on a mouth-watering culinary journey that awakens all five senses.

After dining at countless Indian restaurants, reading plenty of online recipes & attending numerous “Indian” cooking classes in Australia, she was greatly disappointed at what was served or taught as there was no authenticity, nor delicious unique dishes showcasing the true cuisine!

These are no ordinary cooking classes. Heavenly Morsel is a luxury in-depth culinary experience like no other, where history meets passion & culinary skill. Almost everything you learn at the classes are treasured family recipes which have been passed down to Tanya from her ancestors, through her grandmother & mother – recipes that you won't find anywhere.

Fact:

So why pay the same price or more elsewhere, to learn 1-2 common main dishes and a filler dish such as salad or dips, when you can learn a grand feast of SIX-SEVEN main dishes with Heavenly Morsel Melbourne!

Not only that, you also enjoy our complementary luxuries that are not offered anywhere else in Australia, such as our extravagant grazing board, unlimited house made mocktails and so much more! You’re not dreaming, this is just how I host and Heavenly Morsel is a passion project, rather than a business – so you enjoy my standard of hosting!
