We had a really great day out in the Abel Tasman National Park but with some tweaking it could have been better. All it would take is a different parking spot. First book with Aqua Taxis, they take smaller boats of about 10/12 people on a terrific and thrilling ride which starts on dry land. We were dropped off at Anchorage which is a walk of approximately 12/15 Kms back to the car park. The views are stunning and the track is good. It’s a moderately easy walk. The Park Cafe which is situated on the same road as Aqua Taxis is really great, ice cold beers and perfect pizzas, as well as other eating and drinking options. We parked at Aqua Taxis premises which is about a Km down the road. If you park in th National Park site adjacent to The Park Cafe, then as you walk off the boardwalk leaving the Abel Tasman at the end of your walk, the beer and pizza are a perfect end to a perfect day.

We highly recommend this 5 hour 'Cook Like a Pro' experience. The meals were prepared from fresh local produce, and we were instructed by Peter, a highly skilled and professional chef. It was an enjoyable experience, and we learnt many new cooking skills in a very short time. Certainly, was one of the highlights of our trip to Tasmania.

So happy we stumbled upon Cook Like A Pro In Taroona when searching for things to do in Hobart. It was one of the many highlights of our trip. Great value for money, food was absolutely amazing and we walked away with the confidence that we could recreate what we cooked at home. Pete’s professionalism, expertise and friendly nature made the day so enjoyable. Will definitely be back next time in Hobart!!!

We were blessed to have a personalised tour with Peter. His knowledge of the area was astounding and some of the stories were truly amazing. Gives you a greater appreciation of the history of the Salamance area.

Having experienced cooking classes in both Italy and France, I would rate Chef Peter's as a five star experience all the way. His technique and experience is inspiring as is his farm to table mentality. We would highly recommend this class to anyone who has any interest in Tasmania's

My son and I had a fabulous morning in Peter’s kitchen. He was professional, friendly and informative. We have brought home the recipes and feel confident that we can reproduce them again. Highly recommend!

Our group of 5 had a great time! Peter was a wonderful host had some funny stories about his life of a chef…to head chef.There’s not a lot of prep work, which suited us.The courses we created were amazing, yum and we learned a few tips and tricks of cooking. The fact that Peter hosts it in his own home is appealing he uses everyday products and equipment , giving it a homely feel. Definitely value for money. I would highly recommend giving it a go!!

Great cooking class - we learnt so much and the food was delicious! Peter is a highly experienced chef who teaches you how to cook a fine dining 4 course meal in a home kitchen (so you can replicate at home). The menu changes by season so you only eat fresh Tasmanian produce (including organic ingredients from Peter's garden). You also receive the recipes at the end of the class! Taroona was only a 12 minute drive from our hotel in Sandy Bay, so really close to the cbd. Definitely recommend, 10/10!

We were impressed by the simple equipment and a real home kitchen where we assisted in preperation and cooking of a great meal. I have gained quite a bit of confidenceand look forward to trying a few new things at home. It was a fun and relaxed time. We had a great day and Peter was very generous with his time.

We throughly enjoyed this experience. Peter is a fabulous host and chef and shared loads of interesting information and tips with us (he is also very well versed on local history). Loved the recipes we prepared together - everything was delicious. Peter is also happy to tailor the menu to your dietary needs and preferences. A terrific morning and lunch and highly recommended.

What a wonderful and informative way to spend a morning. Peter was so patient with our basic cooking skills and passed on a huge amount of information and tips. He is the consummate professional and his preparation was very instructive. The techniques he passed on will be put to good use and the resulting lunch was delicious.

Peter generously shares his wealth of expertise, creating a unique experience that cannot be missed! My husband and I appreciated Peter's expert guidance in this cooking class and his patience in answering all our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our time creating meals we wouldn't normally attempt at home. The recipes were simple enough to recreate and we picked up some handy tips and tricks of the trade that will make cooking more enjoyable from now on. The setting is both homely and professional, making for a relaxed environment to learn. The final outcome was delicious! We were eager to tuck in to our creations at the end of the class and loved the fresh flavours. If you are looking for an experience that highlights Tasmania's amazing produce, do yourself a favour and book in for a cooking class with Peter!

This is a fantastic experience for anyone. Local or visitor. It is incredible value. Peter is a charming host with incredible experience, it is certainly a privilege to be able to spend time, never mind learn from him. We learnt so much, about food and about history of Hobart. I can cook, but now I have the confidence to try extra things that are simple, but so effective. The meal we prepared was 5 star and worth the cost of the experience alone. The food was extraordinary, the personal guidance was patient and supportive and the extra knowledge remarkable. Don't hesitate, do this. I said to Peter that it was a 'life changing experience'. Our gracious host laughed, but I was quite serious. I will eat better for the rest of my life because of this experience. Thankyou.
