Culinaire Cooking School first opened it’s doors in 2003 with Chef Christiane Philip at the helm  together with her husband John. After many years of honing her skill both in Europe and  Australia. Christiane recognised a need for a cooking school with a hands on approach that taught students the fundamentals of cookery, rather than attending   demonstration classes. A herb and kitchen garden was then planted out to supply the school with fresh produce  for the classes and workshops. and offers a personal approach with only 8 students per class or workshop ensures maximum learning. The cooking school has grown to the well known inspirational and exiting experience it is today... a first class establishment now also  housing a gift shop and conducting  gourmet food tours.

Our classes and workshops encompass a wide range of exciting subjects  for you to choose from. We provide everything during the classes

and workshops. Come with a group or alone.. .we will make you very welcome.
