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.

Charred corn salad

Whipped Up’s first personal development day!

How to Bake the Perfect Pavlova

Whipped Up turns two!
Oh boy how the time does fly... When I started Whipped Up, I told myself I'd commit a year to this little idea of mine. One year, and if it didn't take off, I'd retrain as a teacher and teach either home economics or history (my two great loves). I hoped like anything...
