About This Venue

The Cooking School’s Little Chef’s Adventures party turns its commercial kitchen in Canada Bay into a hands‑on pasta and cupcake workshop. Guided by a professional chef, up to 25 young cooks mix, knead and shape fresh pasta before whipping up and decorating cupcakes, then sitting down to enjoy the dishes they’ve created.

The fully inclusive, 2½‑hour session provides all ingredients, equipment, aprons and clean‑up, with one supervising parent welcome per five children. After a fun cupcake‑judging contest the group moves to a seated area to eat, leaving nothing to take home except full bellies and a new set of kitchen skills. Pricing is supplied via an online quote calculator, and parties can be tailored to suit birthdays for children aged 5+.

What Parents Say

Scott Eastwood

We have just finished our Dessert Cooking Class with Gabrielle and Wow what a fun morning. We started in a group of six enthusiastic gastronomes and finished with a chatty laughing group of friends. We came from all over Sydney with the same expectations of learning and tips and let me tell you, you get way more. A great teacher has patience empathy and pride in their work and Gabrielle abounds with all three. We learned tips and shortcuts that all the chefs use. We were shown what we were making, how to make it and then we did make it. All culminating with our soufflé dishes coming out warm and tall and tasty at the last. The course is not about flashy methods and tricks it’s about learning to transform complex dishes into simple food that tastes amazing. Having a love of all things baking my wife was in heaven. Im sure if you go you will be too. Don't expect to leave and go on Masterchef because this is real tasty affordable food cooked with family in mind. We are going back and doing another course or two. It was a really excellent day. Thanks again Gabrielle.

UPDATED 23/07/25: We recently acquired a pasta machine based on Gabriele's recommended model. I invited the kids around to make pasta, measured out the ingredients and left them to it. With no other adult intervention, the kids made a very delicious fresh pasta! The adults were so impressed. What a teacher, even months later the kids remembered everything Gabriele taught them. Cooking is truly a skill for life, and these kids definitely embraced it :D Why can't I give more than 5 stars? Gabriele's cooking school deserves it. We had a kid's birthday party here. 10 kids, short attention spans... but he kept them all engaged and involved. His timing was perfect in constantly keeping the kids busy whilst he prepared other things. They learnt to make cupcakes and pasta from scratch, use and look after a pasta machine and at the end, eat the fruits of their labour. They were so excited and proud to show their parents what they made with their own hands. Cannot rate this experience highly enough, and all kids now interested in food and cooking :D The experience was great and Gabriele himself is absolutely lovely, patient and kind. Several of the parents had cooking questions and he patiently answered each one. The take-home message my child got was: the most important part of being a great chef is to be passionate about it! Thank you, Gabriele. PS If anyone is wondering why Gabriele isn't answering calls or emails as soon as you send them, please know that he personally conducts classes and also teaches outside of the school, so he isn't glued to a screen but instead, in the kitchen being present for his students, as we would like him to be. He will get back to you as soon as he can.

My husband and I had an amazing time at the seafood cooking class with Gabriele. He's a fantastic instructor explaining everything clearly and offering helpful tips throughout the class. His knowledge and passion for cooking really made the experience enjoyable and informative. We walked away with not only great recipes but also some valuable kitchen skills. Highly recommend the class if you're looking to improve your cooking and learn more about seafood.

Energetic, informative and a lot of fun. My husband and I had a great Sunday out, attending a pasta-making class at the Cooking School. Gabriele (our teacher) was energetic, informative and is a great joke teller :P We were taken on a taste sensation journey, making 3 kinds of pasta, and sauces, from scratch; spaghetti (with oil, chilli and garlic), fettuccine (with basil pesto) and ravioli (filled with roasted pumpkin). Gabriele would do each step while we watched, then we went make to our table to copy the steps, with help available whenever we needed it. Who knew making delicious pasta was so easy? Gabriele had nothing to hide and welcomed the use of videos and photos. At the end of the class, we all sat together and ate our creations. I can see why people buy a Cooking School voucher as a birthday gift. It is a great way to spend the day and have a fun experience with someone you care about. Easy street parking is available, with amenities nearby.

Such a fantastic experience! My first cooking class. Thoroughly enjoyed learning new recipes and upgrading my cooking niche to include some new Thai dishes! Gabriel was so friendly & full of patience to a room full of women with different levels of cooking skills! He thoroughly explained the process. The ingredients provided were fresh & the food we cooked tasted absolutely delicious! Walked away with some new chopping skills too!! Easy parking on site too. Totally recommend.
