Testimonials

“Whipped Up have a team of great cooks able to accomodate my low carb diet requirements with variety, textures and flavours. They are also great NDIS support, providing good company, friendly conversation and real connection. I highly recommend Whipped Up.”

– James H.

“I’ve been cooking with Georgia twice a week for over three years and I love the meals we cook together! We have great fun and they have been such a great help to me and my family, supporting me in the kitchen and beyond.”

– Sandra N.

Whipped Up has changed my life and I couldnt be more grateful.
My relationship with food has changed for the better and I’m finding myself cooking in the kitchen independently, a big shift from just constantly grazing and eating ready made dishes full of preservatives.
This wouldnt have been possible without Atilla and his endless amount of patience and empathy.

– Adam M.

I have been enjoying delicious meals with Whipped Up for the last year. I thoroughly enjoy the whole experience. I have been learning some great recipes in the kitchen and enjoying trying new foods. It is also so fantastic to have bulk meals prepared for the week to help reduce the hassle of what to prepare each night. The team at Whipped Up is absolutely amazing, so friendly and accommodating making the whole experience fantastic. Highly recommend their services.
– Rebecca T.

Atilla fills our fridge every Friday with the most delicious meals that the fussiest boys in the world even eat. It isn’t just the healthy, homemade food that makes life in our house possible, it’s the care, understanding and simplicity with which it happens. We couldn’t do life without Attila! Thank you so much for looking after our ever chaotic and complicated household.

– Petra C.

I’ve been working with Brooke for well over 12 months now and have had quite a delightful experience with her. Brooke’s professionalism and broad range of meal ideas, skills and confidence shines through every week. I have learnt so much in our time working together about food prep, cooking and has helped expand my skills in the kitchen. My experience with Brooke is a positive and influential one that has given me much more variety, general food health and preparation. 

– Bonnie T.

I really enjoy Julia coming to teach me how to cook. I always look forward to our cooking session. The two hours go by so quickly, I just wish our session could last much longer!  While she is here we talk and work at the same time. It is like therapy for me and my mum. Julia is more than a cooking instructor to us. She has been coming for nearly 8 months, we are now like friends.   We really appreciate Julia’s efforts. Thanks to Whipped Up for providing such a meaningful and great service to NDIS participants.

– Sunny S.

Whipped Up has been cooking with me for almost two years and they are absolutely fantastic! I’ve been introduced to so many new flavours and foods that I wouldn’t otherwise have experienced and they are always mindful of my many allergies (eggs, dairy, nuts, seafood and sesame), and has always been very flexible and happy to work around my hectic schedule.

– Julian K.

Julia is an extremely supportive worker, who cooks delicious fresh meals with me every week. I am FODMAP sensitive, my partner is autistic and has cancer, and we are both diabetic. Julia goes above and beyond to ensure we have nutritious food that both of us can enjoy, with some treats in the rotation too. We love having Julia in our team, and would be quite lost without her.

– Jacqui C.

How does a cooking class with Whipped Up work?

When you book a class with Whipped Up, we ask you a few questions about what equipment you have in your kitchen, what kind of skills you’re hoping to acquire, your favourite foods and also any allergies or food intolerances you might have. If you’re an NDIS or MyAgedCare participant, we will also ask about your disability and any limitations you may have in the kitchen, it’s up to you how much you disclose to us, but the more we know, the easier it is for us to design our sessions to suit you!

Based on the above information, we design a recipe plan in advance so you can enjoy your full two hours with us whipping up some delicious, no fuss food using equipment you already own!

Why do you host classes in our home, instead of at a school?

There’s a few reasons for this. Firstly, it helps keep costs down: cooking classes at cooking schools are expensive because of rent, equipment and other basic business overheads, like electricity and gas.

Secondly, we believe that people who learn to cook a recipe in an environment they’re familiar with, using equipment that belongs to them, helps them better retain the skills and information they learn.

Finally, we are able to customise our recipes to you. After all, what’s the point in learning how to cook food you don’t love, using equipment you might not have at home?

How many people can come to a class?

Our prices include two people and we charge extra for bonus attendees. While you ultimately choose how many friends you’d like to invite to join us, we recommend capping it at four people. This is so that everyone feels involved and gets the most out of it.

Who pays for groceries/ingredients?

For NDIS and MyAgedCare participants, we are unable to cover the costs of groceries due to funding rules and regulations. Some participants attend the supermarket and shop with us, others have us collect the groceries on the way, but most prefer to do their own shopping so they can control their budget. We will discuss these options with you to decide what suits your needs best.

We include the cost of ingredients in all of our children’s birthday party bookings, however we add it as an extra cost to our adult bookings, to help keep costs as low as possible, as well as remaining transparent about what you’re spending your money on. We check in on what your pantry looks like to ensure we don’t double up on items you may have in plentiful supply at home.

Can I give a class as a gift?

Absolutely! We encourage gift giving. Contact us about our gift vouchers.
