Terms,conditions & FAQ

How do I book and pay for a cooking class with Relish Mama? 

All cooking class bookings can be made, with ease, via our website. Simply click on the class of your choice, register your details and your payment can then be made via the secure ‘Pay now’ link that is displayed down the bottom of the following screen once you have registered & confirmed your booking. Payment is due when booking is made. In the unlikely event you strike some difficulty when booking your place, please don’t hesitate to call or email us your booking request and we will gladly assist you.

PayPal, Cash, Cheque, Credit card (excluding Amex & Diners) and Direct deposit payment methods are all accepted. Credit card is accepted (excluding Amex & Diners) for manually assisted bookings but please note that a 3.5% surcharge is added to Invoice total.

Cancellation and transfer policy:
Please be aware that classes and gift vouchers are non refundable.
Cancellations received more than 14+ days of your booked class are entitled to reschedule in to another class. A refund will not be given. Cancellations made 14 days & less of class date are non refundable and non transferable.
Want to send someone in your place? Absolutely no problem – just let us know your friends name and contact details by either email or phoning through the details.
If, due to extreme and unforeseen circumstances, you cannot attend your class and you are within 14 days of class date, a $50 cancellation fee applies and is not negotiable. We are sure you appreciate the high cost of running the classes, purchases already made and the fact that seats cannot then be on-sold.
If you cancel a class that has been booked through redemption of a gift voucher, the same terms and conditions as above will apply.

It is extremely unlikely however in the unlikely event that a class is cancelled or re scheduled by Relish Mama, a future class date will be offered or a refund can be arranged.

How do I know if my place in the class is confirmed?
All reservations are deemed confirmed once payment is received in full. You will also receive a confirmation email. Class reservations must be paid for at time of booking your place but please feel free to contact us, if you need a special allowance (eg. you do not get paid for another 3 days) and we will do our best to assist. You do still need to register for the class.

Can I bring a friend to watch?
Sorry but no. Only confirmed guests that have paid for a place in a class may attend. You are most welcome to come with a friend or partner with you however they will need to register and pay for their place in the class.

What about dietary requirements?
We do our very best to accommodate certain dietary requirements however it is sometimes not possible with every dish within a particular class but again, so long as we know in advance, we do our very best. Please email any dietary restrictions to us at the time of your booking and well in advance of your class date.

How do I redeem a gift voucher?
