“Very informative, interactive and easy to follow class. With tips, recipes and tricks I can definitely make at home.
We ate all the food we made at the end of class, everything was delicious.”
“Trio of Asian delights was good value for money.
The teacher Kate included us in preparing the ingredients and showed us different ways to wrap the wontons, spring rolls and dumplings.
She showed us the best products to purchase.
We cooked them up and plated and then shared our meals. We had left overs to take home.
We had a great time learning a new skill.”
“As someone who could barely boil rice without second guessing myself, I nervously stepped into Labour of Love’s “A Trio of Asian Delights” cooking class, my first foray into the world of Asian cuisine. But from the moment I arrived, Kate made me feel completely at ease. Her warm, infectious enthusiasm and detailed teaching style created a friendly, fun atmosphere that welcomed both beginners and seasoned cooks alike.
The hands-on experience was the highlight. We weren’t just watching, we were chopping, stirring, tasting, and learning knife skills while gaining a deeper understanding of key ingredients. Kate guided us through each dish with clarity and patience, always ready to answer questions and offer tips. By the end of the session, I had created three delicious dishes that left me feeling proud and surprisingly confident. I walked in a kitchen rookie and walked out feeling like a cooking superstar.
My second class, “A Taste of Japan,” took place in Kate’s beautiful new kitchen studio in West Footscray. The setting was intimate and inviting, with a professional touch, stylish individual workstations, aprons, tea on arrival, and even a choice of plum or yuzu wine. We were treated to a gourmet grazing platter featuring an award winning salami and her own delectable truffle sauce label, which added a luxurious flair to the experience.
Kate went above and beyond to make the class feel personal, almost like being invited into her home to cook for family and friends. It was more than just a cooking class, it was a cultural immersion, a celebration of flavors, and a masterclass in hospitality. The value for money was exceptional, and the opulent yet approachable vibe made it unforgettable.
Whether you're a beginner looking to build confidence or a seasoned cook eager to explore new cuisines, Kate’s classes are a must. Her passion, warmth, and culinary expertise turn every session into a delicious adventure.”
“What a fantastic class! Kate was so accommodating when organising the class and was friendly and knowledgeable throughout. Everything was beautifully set up with the ingredients and their roles were all explained (plus where you can buy them from) and then the techniques were clearly talked through with plenty of demonstrations throughout. The food tasted delicious and we can't wait to make this at home! Honestly cannot recommend and thank Kate enough for creating such a beautiful experience for my partner and I for our anniversary!”
