Testimonials by our students:

"I had the pleasure of attending Trupp Cooking School's Christmas BBQ course in December.

What a fantastic class!

Walter and Dorota have created their school to reflect what they know and love about food. It's obvious that they have thought of everything, and tapping into their combined knowledge about cooking, nutrition and sustainability is a must for any budding home cook!

Booking the course online was simple. The space is large and incredibly well spaced with high quality cookware and appliances. You really do feel like you've walked into the dream kitchen of a top chef.

Walter is a gifted teacher; delivering his class in a straightforward but engaging way, often adding humor to the mix. I was made to feel right at home, regardless of my experience as a cook, and there seemed to be ample opportunity to ask questions about anything food related. Although the Christmas BBQ course was only 3 hour class, I learnt loads of techniques for cooking and preparation that i have already taken with me and applied to my own cooking. More than anything else, I had a great time! This was easily the best cooking class I've ever attended and I'll definitely be signing up to do Chef Essentials in 2012!"

"It has been an absolute delight to attend the Trupp Cooking School. Walter's knowledge and expertise surpasses anything I have experienced from a culinary teacher.

He provides a fantastic environment to explore the world of food. Not only do you learn to cook exquisite dishes, but you also get a great insight into how a chef prepares and shops for ingredients.

I have just recently completed Walter's Tasting School, which was the most educational and fun experience I have ever had in cooking.

Walter's encouraging and friendly nature inspires you to work for beyond what you thought could ever be achieved in the kitchen. I look forward to doing many more of your classes"

"Thanks Walter, what a fabulous time I have had doing your cooking courses over past two months. I have learnt so much and it has given me the confidence to create some wonderful meals and dinners at home for friends and Rita. It was a bonus also in learning the skills and understanding what to look for when it comes to buying the best grades of fish and meat. You provide a holistic course which made it even more enjoyable and valuable. I am looking forward to my next fun cooking adventure with you."

- Kelly Michelakis 

" I have completed about 5 sensational classes with Walter & have found them to be the most rewarding & comprehensive classes I have done.

Walter & Dorota are extremely welcoming into their very homely & modern classroom kitchen which has all the modern equipment & tools you need to excel.

His knowledge, techniques & diversity in cooking from his world class background, allows his pupils to get the most out of every class.

He has a  very down to earth nature which makes his classes a lot of fun and the class atmosphere is a very relaxed & exciting place to be.

I cannot wait for the new year to see what classes are install for me.

I also was the lucky winner of the draw for a brand new Kitchen Aid. (I love it)

Thank you so much Walter."

"I have attended many cooking classes but those held at Trupp Cooking School are second to none. Class sizes are small and importantly there is plenty of equipment and tools for everyone. The dishes and techniques I have learnt have been truly amazing and best of all is the opportunity to be taught from such a credentialed Chef as Walter Trupp. His talent and passion id extraordinary and he truly enjoys passing his vast knowledge to the students. I am looking forward to attending many more classes in 2012."
