Our 5 Favorite Cooking Classes in Adelaide – Rated!

Homefresh Experience Cooking, which has two major sites in Adelaide, evolved from a company that offered freshly cooked ready meals to one that taught cooking classes.

What we especially like about their cooking classes in Adelaide is that they also cater to people with special needs. 

They offer a fantastic opportunity for NDIS participants to connect, engage with the local community, and acquire one of the most essential life skills: how to prepare healthy food from scratch.

Homefresh also partners with schools to teach students how to cook. Their skilled and child safety-certified chefs will lead these instructive cooking classes, which are adapted to each year level.

What’s even better is that the classes can be conducted in your kitchen or they can bring their fully equipped mobile kitchen.

Homefresh aims to offer tailor-made cooking classes for seniors, singles, and couples. Corporate and private group cooking classes are also available for booking.

However, if you are keen on knowing what cuisine or dishes you will be preparing, you will be disappointed to know that Homefresh does not provide this prior to your classes.

We also do not appreciate that they also do not provide a brief or profile of their chefs. 

Furthermore, their specialty is only in conducting cooking classes for private groups and school groups.

Nonetheless, if you are looking for affordable cooking classes for your kids and if you are enrolling as a group, Homefresh Experience Cooking is for you.

Casa Carboni was established by Matteo and Fiona back in 2012. Their passion for cooking, wine, and teaching others Italian cooking methods led to the establishment of their cooking school in Adelaide. 

They advocate for utilizing the best ingredients South Australia and the Barossa region have to offer.

Everything you will need for the cooking lesson, including aprons, is provided at Casa Carboni. You only need to arrive dressed comfortably and wearing closed-toed footwear.

They also provide a team-building course with exercises aimed at enhancing participants’ leadership and communication abilities. Additionally, you get to eat lunch in their wine cellar, the Enoteca.

What’s great is they only accommodate a small number of participants per class, which ensures that the class is more engaging for everyone and each of you will get hands-on experience. 

However, we find it inconvenient that they are located an hour away from Adelaide Metro. 

They also only specialize in Italian cuisine, which can be limiting for some people who want to be exposed to different cultures in cooking.

In addition to this, their classes are expensive. On average, each class is priced at AUD 200.

Nevertheless, if you want to learn how to make exquisite Italian dishes and desserts, Casa Carboni is an excellent choice.

With a large roster of skilled chefs and dietitians, Sprout Cooking School & Health Studio is renowned across Adelaide.

Sprout started in 2011 and became a Registered Training Organization in 2017. This says a lot about their dedication to providing top-notch culinary education in their classes.

They advocate for healthy eating, which is why a lot of their class offerings focus on creating healthy meals for you and your loved ones.

Garnering high regard across the food and health industry, Sprout is able to impart valuable and practical kitchen techniques to their students. 

We also appreciate that despite their classes being affordable, they do not compromise on the quality of their kitchenware and facility. You will be working in their state-of-the-art cooking facility and utilizing their well-kept equipment.

They are also inclusive in their cooking classes in Adelaide, catering to students with special needs and learning disabilities.

However, Sprout upholds the greatest standards for their business and holds their students to the same standards. This indicates that their classes are not particularly beginner-friendly for adults.

Some clients are also dismayed that you get minimal hands-on experience in their master classes.

Nonetheless, if you want to take your culinary journey seriously, Sprout is a great stepping stone for your endeavour.

Sticky Rice Cooking School is led by a diverse team of acclaimed chefs hailing from different parts of the world.

You are sure to learn how to cook authentic dishes from different cultures because each chef has intricately planned out the course meals you will be preparing.

Their classes are reasonably priced, and in case of changes in schedule, your bookings are flexible and refundable. We suggest you refer to their terms and conditions to be more aware of this.

We think the banquet they prepare at the end of class sessions so you can all enjoy the fruits of your labour is a nice touch.

What’s even better is that you get to enjoy all this while admiring their stunning venue, which also offers villa accommodations if you are interested in staying for the night.

We appreciate that they show how many slots are left for each class so you can closely track their availability.

However, some clients are not too fond of their no takeaway policy. This may disappoint a lot of you who would like to take home some of your creations for people at home to try.

Their big class sizes are also a disadvantage if you want to rub shoulders with their chefs or if you want to be closely guided while you are cooking.

If you want to travel the world through your taste buds as you gain cultural awareness and helpful kitchen techniques, Sticky Rice Cooking School in Adelaide is highly recommended.

We adore Scoffed Cooking Classes Adelaide because they don’t take themselves too seriously—not in the way they impart essential kitchen techniques and culinary knowledge, but in the way they allow their class to have fun!

They can provide you with ideas for spicing up your cooking routine and adding extra oomph when you cook for special occasions, from tapas and sweets to BBQs and other dishes!

Whether you’re 6 or 60, a total novice or a gourmet cook, you’ll enjoy receiving practical advice from the witty and amusing chefs at Scoffed Cooking School Adelaide that will make your life easier.

They also use locally sourced ingredients, so you also support locals when enrolling in their classes.

If you are looking to expand your repertoire of specialty dishes, they have outstanding mastery cooking classes. Some include mastering the art of making ramen, sushi, pasta, and bao.

However, we find the additional payment processing fee included in the final cost of your enrollment to be unnecessary. 

Some clients have also reported that some pieces of equipment in their kitchen were faulty like the pasta machines. This can cause inconvenience during classes.
