This is a 2-hour class. We provide all the ingredients, aprons, and equipment you need at your cooking station. Our experienced chef will demonstrate everything you’re expected to cook.
Our philosophy at VIVE is that cooking should be fun and uncomplicated, and anyone who loves food can cook. Some of our classes (and dishes) might seem too complicated to the amateur cook, but our chefs are experts in breaking down techniques, and walking you through each steps of a dish to make it accessible to you. It is all about building your confidence in the kitchen whilst having fun, and surprising yourself with what you can achieve.
Our cooking stations are designed for two people. If you book a single ticket or an odd number of tickets, you may be paired with another participant, a great way to meet new foodies friends.
We recommend you wear comfortable closed-toe shoes as you will be standing for most of the time.
We also encourage you to bring some takeaway boxes for any leftovers.
We are a fully licensed venue, and we do not permit BYO.
You are welcome to purchase drinks during the class after our introduction and induction process.

Sometimes, despite our best intentions, life happens.
If you need to cancel your booking, please notify us by email at info@vivecookingschool.com.au, quoting your booking number and the number of ticket(s) you need to cancel. We do not accept cancellation notifications by phone.
We do our best to help, but the earlier we know about your cancellation, the less impact it has on our operations, and it will limit potential costs for both sides. Here is a clear breakdown of how it will impact us both depending on when you notify us by email:
- Cancellation within 4 weeks and up to 72 hours prior to the class start date and time: You are entitled to a full credit note to rebook your next class.
- Cancellation within 72 to 24 hours before the class start date and time: You will be offered a partial refund of 50% of your ticket value in the form of a credit note valid for 6 months. This helps cover some of the costs associated with running the class, such as the chef, ingredients already prepared for you, and the spots reserved in your name. It is very unlikely that we will be able to resell these seats on such short notice.
- Cancellation within 24 hours before the class start date and time: Your ticket will be considered forfeited.

Note, we believe cooking is more fun when shared with a group, so our classes are best enjoyed with at least 6 participants. If we don’t reach that number, we may need to cancel and reschedule the session. But don’t worry—we’ll do our best to let you know as early as possible. If that happens, we’ll issue you a Credit Note, so you can easily rebook for another class.
