"A huge THANK YOU to Cameron for a great day at the Clovelly Long Apron Cooking Class. The cooking school was a gift for my Mum for Christmas and it was great! I have been to loads of cooking classes around the world and this was easily the best ‘all round experience’. Cameron’s passion and love for food is obvious and the hours flew by while he shared his techniques and tips and both ‘taught’ and ‘demonstrated’ his French cooking. We will certainly come back and try the Italian class soon! Thank you Cameron, David, Laurie and Sam for making it such a great day."

The Tamarind Cooking School offers a cut above the rest with a purpose-built cooking school headed by Daniel Jarrett teaching the intracacies of Thai cuisine. The school features state of the art cooking stations, air-conditioned comfort and spectacular views perched amongst the beautiful green grounds overlooking the rainforest.
Each class is highly informative, hands-on and initimate (limited to maximum 12 people). Daniel and his team of experienced chefs teach intricate Thai cuisine in a simple, approachable way, enabling you to recreate delicious Thai dishes at home to impress family and friends.
Each person creates five dishes and receives the chef's secret recipes, notes and a signature Tamarind Apron, as well as being able to devour your own creations at the end of the class, all with a nice glass of wine in hand.
Thai and Asian cuisine has become extremely popular due to its healthy nature and content.

"I would just to like to comment and thank you for the wonderful experience that my daughter-in-law, Sue and I experienced last Saturday at the cooking class.... the company was wonderful and everything was explained in simple terms. The "mystifying" elements of Thai food were explained and demonstrated so well. When my husband gave us the cooking class for Mothers Day I was a little perturbed, but found the whole day absolutely wonderful."
