Palate Sensations Cooking School

Experiences can be a funny thing. It changes your outlook on life and brings different priorities to light which you might never have noticed otherwise.

For this year end, the teambuilding event my boss decided upon is one which is pretty interesting, a place to learn to cook and after that, eat as well. Whats not to like?

Palate sensations is an interesting concept cooking school which has some big name chefs doing the teaching and guiding processes.

Our chef for the day is Ms Lynette Foo who does the teaching for Western/Australian cuisine. And our meal consists of our own, handmade pasta, and choclate souffle (aka molten chocolate cake)

The entire experience of making the dough involved everything right from the mixing of the dough to the choice of pasta to make. Suffice to say, it was interesting from start to end.

The chocolate souffle was most interesting to me since i love desserts and eat this every chance i get. To my horror, it was so easy to do and uses reasonably cheap ingredients that i'm just shocked how much i'm charged for it outside. Easily 8 to 9 times more then what its worth.

The coordinator or chef is amiable and facilitating. The food we made were reasonably tasty and good. And the environment is very condusive and comfortable.

The one night course and 3 course meal took 4 hours and cost upwards of $68 per head for 7 people. Interesting? Yes! Expensive? Very much so. Fun? Yes! Try again? Let me do a rain check on my wallet before i answer that. Well, no. Its too expensive and out of the way to do again for me but its an experience everyone should try once at least.
