Cooking Classes

Cooking Classes

Sorry - as of 2015 we no longer run Cooking Classes.

2014:

We love …

the feel of fresh pastry under our palms;

the aroma of cakes baking the moment before they’re ready;

the combination of cheeses and fresh bread, hot from the oven;

rolling hand-made pasta ready to drop into boiling water;

sharing a meal with friends and family.

We love … teaching and passing on our passion for good food.

You’ll love … sharing the journey at Sweetbridge Larder.

 Classes cost $150 for a 2hr class.  They include all ingredients, class notes, a shared meal related to the class and a take home pack of products made and on-going support and advice long after your class has finished. 

… the joy is in the journey – considered yourself invited …
