Let's get started!What other students are saying: Glenda - Mosman, NSWAny apprehension I had of doing an online cooking course was calmly abated on receiving the first cooking course. Chef Antonella’s structured approach to the course exceeded my expectations in content, delivery and confidence gained from her technique and tips. Her organisational format of providing a shopping list, delectable family recipes along with pre-recorded step-by-step videos with every module was invaluable. If your desire is to cook traditional Italian fare, then this course has so much to offer, the least of which is experiencing Antonella’s authentic passion and love of her Italian heritage, expressed in her desire to share this wonderful food with others.Suelen - West Pennant Hills, NSWI was wanting to learn something new, something creative and I liked the idea of enhancing my already good cooking skills and increasing my cooking repertoire. This course provided comprehensive videos with excellent recipes that were relatively easy to follow and had lots of authentic flavour. I liked the way the videos were presented; they had just the right amount of content and I could watch them at my own pace.Elisa - Cromer, NSW This course caters to all levels from a novice like me, through to advanced cooks. Antonella explained the reasons behind the techniques, which allowed us to feel confident to experiment and extend ourselves with new ideas. As someone who gets bored easily with what I’m cooking, finally I’m cooking meals I want to eat after I’ve cooked them! Also, being married to an Italian who is never satisfied with Italian restaurant food, he absolutely raved about the food we cooked as part of this course. Antonella’s approach is enriched with so much cultural and historical knowledge paired with her exceptional chef skills, I found it fascinating and beyond just a cooking course. I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in Italian food or cooking in general.John and Penny - Glenhaven, NSWWhat a brilliant course to enhance our Italian cooking skills. We treated the course as a family experience cooking what we learnt every Sunday. We are pretty competent cooks, and this course has not only given us some jewels recipes, but every single week we have learnt new tips and techniques. It has also taught us to be more controlled, balanced and how to lift flavours of food! Thank you Antonella for a great, fun experience!Carolyn - West Pennant Hills, NSW I was keen to expand my cooking repertoire and learn the proper techniques for dishes I hadn’t had the confidence to try before. This course offered so much content in each module, plus all the recipes really worked! But it wasn’t just the recipes, it was all the extra little gems – the authentic techniques, tips and variations. Antonella was so generous with her advice and information and I loved the way she presented the videos with her signature mix of warmth, humility and passion.Gabrielle - Hunters Hill, NSW This course was like an “Italian Affair” that I could share with my family! Antonella is an experienced chef and teacher and is from an Italian background with a wealth of knowledge. Her informative instructional videos were easy to follow and replay to create authentic Italian meals like I’ve never had before. I now have an abundance of beautiful recipes to choose from and continue to explore and enjoy! It was just like an amazing foodie holiday in the comfort of my own home.
Suitable for both beginners and confident cooks, this class is perfect for anyone wanting to achieve authentic Italian flavours and add some spice to their everyday cooking that family and friends will love.

Ciao, I’m Antonella – Your Italian Chef and Food Coach passionate about bringing the authentic flavours of Italy into your home! My culinary journey: Like many Australian Italian families, my parents migrated to Australia in 1960. From an early age of 7 I became very inquisitive and interested in watching and helping my mother in the kitchen. I became familiar with traditional flavour combinations and compiled my own handwritten cookbook with all the tips and secrets she taught me. These early experiences ignited a lifelong passion for sharing the joy of Italian cooking. Experience and Qualifications: After working in corporate marketing within a leading food company, I took a leap to start selling my own fresh Italian products at farmers’ markets. I then obtained my chef qualifications from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary School and worked in various restaurants and function centres, collaborating with other chefs and owners to develop unique recipes and menus. For over 18 years, I have been teaching Italian cooking both online and in-person, combining my Italian heritage with professional training to impart valuable, lifelong culinary skills.Pass the Parmesan Italian Cooking School: Teaching is where my heart truly lies, and this passion has inspired me to establish Pass the Parmesan Italian Cooking School. Here, I transform all my culinary knowledge into engaging online courses, helping you master delicious and authentic Italian cuisine from the comfort of your own kitchen, wherever you may be in the world. Why I Do What I Do:Sharing everything I know makes me very happy. My mission is to make authentic Italian cooking and modern techniques accessible to everyone, particularly in today’s fast-paced world. My specially designed on-demand, self-paced courses allow you to learn at your own pace, watching when it suits you, with the ability to pause and rewatch as needed. What I Promise To Offer: Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced cook, you’ll find a supportive environment in my courses, with detailed, step-by-step prerecorded lessons. I am also happy to answer your questions, ensuring your learning journey is an enjoyable and successful one.It gives me great joy to connect with and inspire those hungry to learn, and I would love the opportunity to help you confidently master Italian cooking, engaging all your senses, especially your taste buds! I look forward to cooking together. Chef Antonella x
