Chef Peter has been formally trained and qualified. He has real and extensive industry experience, which means he can add valuable knowledge to each lesson which of course benefits our students.
Chef Peter is still actively involved in the hospitality industry, which allows him to remain current regarding trends, information, and networking. We also involve our students, where possible, so that they can observe first- hand how functions are executed.
Urban Playground is our restaurant which offers our students the chance to experience “real live service”
Our kitchen facilities are in line with a professional kitchen set up, so that our students are better equipped to manage the real-life experience. Our students are assigned weekly duties in order to teach them the value of planning, teamwork and a discipline of hard work, which is aligned to the real-life industry.
We arrange interesting guest speakers and informative presentations, so that we can expose our students to a wide range of culinary experiences and products.
On the Diploma course, the second year consists of in-service training and is designed to send our students into working kitchens to be guided by professional chefs in their environment. It is vital to cement the knowledge we have imparted, by ensuring our students are exposed to real industry training. We also believe in ensuring our students’ training is executed responsibly, so we monitor this practical period very closely.

Head Chef and Owner The Pot Luck Club, The Carbon Test Kitchen and Fledglings

Our Fledglings Crew went from strength to strength after their experience at the Sense of Taste Chef School. The tuition and mentoring they experienced really gave them the confidence to stand on their own two feet gave them the self-respect they really deserved. The Sense of Taste Chef School has excellent facilities and an outstanding syllabus. Their attention to detail is second to none. I would have no hesitation in sending further learners to Sense of Taste Chef School.
