About Relish Mama
Cooking classes in Melbourne with heart & soul
A place to come together over a love of great food, Relish Mama cooking classes in Melbourne, have been cooking and bringing people together since 2009. While there have been many changes to the world at large since those early years, the one constant has always remained: Food prepared with thought, and care and love brings us together. Food unites us and create moments of joy to enjoy with family, friends and colleagues.
Our cooking classes, workshops and food experiences are delivered to groups both online and in person. Thousands have enjoyed our classes over the years. They are a fabulous opportunity to develop your culinary skills in a relaxed and encouraging setting. Of course, if you need us in your house daily, Nellie’s much loved online cooking club or her signature cookbooks are yours to enjoy and are packed with inspiration as well as achievable, delicious recipes.
Our food philosophy is pretty simple: ‘Eat and enjoy real food’. We will provide you with the skills and confidence to do just that.
The reward? Our incredible customers have more time to create and enjoy the magical moments that happen when families and friends come together to connect over a meal.
“I have had the pleasure of meeting and cooking with some wonderful people, and I feel really fortunate to have shared a kitchen and a table with all of them.”
