Brisbane Cooking Classes

Catering for cooks with varying levels of experience, the Black Pearl Epicure Cooking School maintains the philosophy "that there is value in putting time and effort into food and making it part of your life".
Join a culinary adventure when extraordinarily talented chefs from all over Australia visit the school to share their knowledge. Choose from demonstration classes where you can sit, watch and taste, or exciting hands-on classes that allow you the opportunity to roll up your sleeves and join in.
Increase your knowledge of ingredients such as cheese, olive oil, vinegar and chocolate at a Food Awareness Class, or learn trade secrets with specialist cheesemaker Chris Ganzer from Kingaroy Cheese. Become a brazen barbecue-er, learning new techniques and tasting the latest in Australian beers. All classes include substantial food and wine tasting and comprehensive take-home recipes.
Share an unforgettable learning experience with like-minded food lovers, or enjoy the Special Guest series cooking classes, which last year featured the outstanding talents of Stephanie Alexander, Maggie Beer, Shannon Bennett, Matt Moran, David Thompson, Damien Pignolet and Kylie Kwong.
