There are a lot of fabulous cooking schools in Perth and if you want to know how to make perfect pasta, are tantalised by Thai, go cuckoo for Chinese or are insane for Indian, then you are well catered for.

What if you are interested in slightly more obscure cuisines and cooking skills? Here are some of the more uncommon cooking classes available in Perth.



How to make High Tea
We all know how to eat it, but the art of making the delicate little morsels presented to us for High Tea is a different game altogether. The three hour High Tea Heaven class includes a glass of bubbly and fresh pot of tea, and will teach five dishes (such as scones, quiches, tarts, bagels and biscuits). Naturally you get to eat your creations afterwards.

African
Despite having the greatest South African population in the world (outside South Africa), this cuisine is still relatively unknown for most locals. Taste Budds in Highgate offers a two and a half hour course in this distinctive cooking style. Dishes include: bobotie, kofta, chakalaka and piri piri prawns.

Sexy Salads
Although Homer Simpson said 'you don't make friends with salad', luckily Iain Lawless (winner of Season 1 My Kitchen Rules) doesn't agree and at Lawless Cooking School offer a demo class dedicated to the art of salad. This 90 minute course will teach you never to look at the humble salad with pity again.

King of the BBQ
As the average backyard BBQ gets larger and more involved, many of us no longer know how to best utilise these outdoor kitchens. Get a group of mates together and enrol in the Rolls Royce Aussie BBQ class. This five hour class will have you cooking like a pro. You may never need to use your indoor kitchen ever again.

Butchery
Most of us are content to trot down to the local store and pick up a plastic wrapped piece of meat. Where did it come from? How do you prepare it? These three hour masterclasses in meat skills will teach you about the various cuts of meat, including the cheaper, tastier cuts, how to prepare the various meats for braising, and the art of slow cooking. Each hugely popular session focuses on a type of meat. Book well in advance.

Dim Sum Dinner
Have you ever wondered how the delicate dim sum buns are created? In this class you will learn the art of Chinese dim sum including wontons, Siu Mai and salt and pepper squid plus special dips and sauces.

If you like your Chinese a bit more substantial, consider the Chinese banquet class, which covers all sorts of dishes such as Peking duck wraps, Ten Treasure Soup and Bang Bang chicken.

On your own? Or Cooking for two?
Do you know a teenager or young adult who is about to move out of home? Or someone who has just fallen in love and wants to impress their new squeeze in the kitchen?

Party Food

Or perhaps you are more interested in putting together an elegant dinner party (roast pork with pear, walnut and rocket salad) or summer dinner party (Mediterranean chicken roulade). You will learn at least four dishes for each class and they are held in your own house. Minimum numbers apply.
