A great class with a great teacher. Dylan was patient, friendly and informative. He went through all the foods step by step and provided ideas to use for future dishes as well. The kit sent in the mail was really good too. I would recommend this to others.

This class taught me to make a delicious meal and the included ingredients were top quality. I will certainly be making elements of the recepies again and am excited to continue expanding my familiarity with native ingredients!

Dylan was just fantastic. He explained everything clearly and with so much respect. I give him the highest rating possible.

Dylan and Team Otao were amazing! The recipes were incredible-- I hadn't explored a lot of the native Australian botanicals in cooking before, but the class made me feel confident in trying them out-- and the structure is well-thought out-- and I'm really impressed with how Otao Kitchen embraces the online format. I will definitely be booking with them again!
