Directions to La Villa

Spending some time in an Italian kichen is a delight. All fresh ingredients freshly brought from the market and hardly anything from a packet. Making superb food from scratch.

We offer four different cooking courses/experiences. The most popular is here at La Villa, with our own chef, Martin. We can be very flexible and plan the course to suit you from simple pasta to a gourmet meal, but we can only offer this in the morning to keep his time free for dinner preparation. Otherwise, we can arrange a course at one of two local restaurants, where you can help to prepare the evening meal (you will also get to eat the food that you prepare!). One of these restaurants has had a Michelin star for almost 20 years; the other will surely get its first in the near future. Otherwise, come and join us at our outdoor pizza oven and learn to make pizza base, adding the ingredients and cooking you own handiwork!

This year (2013), for the second time, we have a very special cooking class running in September with Valli Little, the leading Australian food writer, author and teacher together with chef Martin Teplitzky (son of Gretta Anna Teplitzky). The programme has been promoted in the March issue of Delicious Magazine in Australia and the details of the course with Valli and Martin can be seen here.
