G’day Terri, just wanted
you to know I’ve been having a wonderful time recreating the lovely things we
made at the recent Moroccan class. I’ve just taken the date & walnut (I only
had pecans) pastries out of the oven & am really pleased how they’ve turned
out….just wanted to check that there were no spices in that???? I put a bit of
cinnamon in some of them as I felt it needed a bit of spice….I also kept back
some mixture & rolled them in walnut sized balls & tossed them in
coconut & popped them in the fridge…good for Rob’s lunchbox.
We had Atlantic salmon
last night with the Chermoula rub & baked them…delicious! The hit of the
week has been Bahrat spice mix on lamb cutlets with Fattoush
salad…heaven!
After I left you last
Thurs I dropped into the spice shop & got a few things as well as some of
their Dukkahs….not spicy enough for my taste so look forward to making your
recipe, just loved that Dukkah & carrot dip of yours!
So, you can see that
I’ve been very happy with what I’ve learnt, thanks so much! All the best,
Deb

Dear Terri,
A little note to thank you for yesterday.
I have attendad 3 previous cooking schools in the past, they were formal and not at all like your format.
You have the winning formula!
It was relaxed and fun whilst you showed us how to prepare so many recipes.
You were very generous imparting your knowlege and with your time.
I certainly will be spreading the word and recomendingyou.
Many thanks again, kind regards.

Hi Terri,
Just a short note to thankyou for such a great start to the
New Year coming to your class. You have created an experience for people to gain
skills , think about fresh produce and that it can be enjoyable and sustainable
to pursue.
Anyway for me personally , the timing was perfect to be
excited about food once again . Off to Vietnam next week and cooking class
booked!Will experiment with bean dishes this year.
I am sure will pass through your doors again one day.
PS- Your mum is gorgeous

Just a note to thank you for the great day on Saturday.
Both Joan and I loved it, as well as meeting the other participants.
We would
both like to return one day and I know my daughter Alice is keen to do a lesson
for her birthday.
Kind regards
Bev
We had a fantastic time up there and will be sure to return again sometime soon
with a view to staying somewhere up the mountain next time. I couldn’t eat again
till breakfast the next day and even then could only manage a small
amount!
Thanks Again
Kind Regards
Deb.

I just wanted to let you know that Cheyenne and I really enjoyed
ourselves at the ‘Modern Australia’ class we attended on Nov 5th.
The food was excellent, great value for
money but I most appreciated the ambience and fantastic conversation that we
shared with the other class members. I have already mentioned my experience with
some of my colleagues and I believe that one of the girls will be looking into
making a booking for a class with her mother before Christmas 
A big thank you to June as well, we all
very much appreciated not having to tidy up after ourselves!
All the best for Christmas and the New
Year,
Kind Regards
time. Thanks again – so nice to have found you there!
1/9/11). I know it’s been ages since then but I’ve finally got a post on my
blog about the lovely day we had and thought you might like a read:
get some bookings out of it!

Hi Terri,
Just a quick thank you for the great day at the cooking school
yesterday. We think you have a great philosophy to fresh food from the region
and appreciated the pile of little tips around the kitchen. We have posted a few
food pics to your Facebook … Hope you don’t mind.
Sue.
Hi Terri,
David and I would like to thank you for a most wonderful day we had last Sunday doing your Italian cooking school. We learnt a lot of skills and how different flavours come together. It has made us both want to experiment a little further with the knowledge that you gave to us during the various courses you created.
Tonight’s menu will be started with the mussels and fennel followed by simple fish with a different salad if I can find a good recipe to go with fish. I am going to make the chocolate mousse soon too, but will have to wait until I have other guests as it is a bit too rich to eat it all ourselves. We both loved the pear with goats cheese and that is high on our list of to do. I will make some good balsamic with the recipe you gave us as well.
Thank you also for telling us where to find ingredients on the Coast and Brisbane, we will be buying quite a few new things for our pantry cupboard. I would also like to thank you for inviting us to your beautiful home and being able to eat and drink some very nice wines with great company thrown in.
I was telling my girlfriend in Sydney about the day and she is going to come up very soon and we will both do another school . Hope to hear about your newsletters and anything about food that interests me greatly.
Hope to see you soon.

Hi Terri
Just wanted to let you know that my brother phoned last night to tell me how much he and his wife enjoyed your cooking school yesterday. (With vouchers I had purchased from you for his birthday.)
It’s always a gamble when you purchase something on the net, but your vouchers were certainly a winner !
Many thanks for enabling me to give him such a good gift.
Regards, Jan

Hi Terri
The girls and I would like to thank you for the most wonderful day on Monday. The food, the garden and view, and your bright personality made it a day we will long remember. Also we all gained many tips to use ourselves.
All the best
Di

Terri,
Thank you so much for the cooking experience – Steve and I enjoyed our day very much (12 out of 10 experience)
We have already passed on feedback to friends and family and they are keen to make it a part of their visit also.
My sister-in-law will be up in February and my son and daughter in law in March –
We are eager to try some of the dishes at home and I will let you know how we go.
Once again thank you and have a very Merry Christmas and prosperous New Year
Best wishes
Steve and kim

Thank you Terri for the magnificent Italian lunch we prepared and indulged in on Sunday. My husband enjoyed it too. It felt like we were on holidays at your beautiful home, and the other classmates were so much fun. See you in the new year for another class. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks again, Pat and Rod.

Thank you so very much for welcoming us into your home on Saturday for the French cooking demonstration/lunch.
Darren and I had the most wonderful time – it was the right balance of cooking and dining. It was intimate and we had a beautiful group of people, who, if given the opportunity, I would love to see again. I would describe it as a “blind date dining experience”.
I was talking to Cheryl – the owner of Lisson Grove – about our experience and she said that she had a friend also attend a Moroccan class, who also thoroughly enjoyed themselves, so she will now be suggesting your classes as something of interest to her guests.
Anyway, I just thought you might be interested in the feedback. Hopefully word of mouth will start working for you. I know from our own experience that next time we are on the mountain, we will definitely be making a return to your class.
Thanks again

For a delightful gourmet experience in a lovely garden setting, I can highly recommend a day at the Mt Tamborine cooking school. We were presented with a delicious array of dishes by Terri and welcomed with good coffee and a delicious lemon slice. All the dishes that Terri demonstrated for us were healthy and really fresh fruits and vegetables from her organic garden. We tried unusual things like finger limes. The food was superb, including a vanilla panna cotta to die for. I enjoyed the company of the friendly group of foodies who swapped stories over lunch in the beautiful conservatory. I’m looking forward to returning for another class, maybe Moroccan or French.

More a cooking retreat than a school. From the beautiful setting, warm greetings, attention to detail to the enthusiasm Terri displays when teaching and sharing her love of cooking, it is a day to remember. She is happy to share her chef’s secrets as well as sourcing the local produce that she is so passionate about. Our Mediterranean menu included lemon slice and tea on arrival, filo tartlets, a Greek vegetable, juicy prawns and succulent lamb. The dessert of Panna Cotta and poached quinces was divine.
-
A truly unique experience!! I would highly encourage the novice and professional alike to participate. I not only enjoyed a fabulous fun filled day, but I gained skills that I now utilise in my own kitchen.
Terri inspires and entertains, delighting the palette and the soul.
I am looking forward to getting another group of my closest friends together and enjoying my next Tamborine Cooking School experience. -
Our group chose the French class and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our day – thank you Terri for sharing your tips, ideas, recipes and the food was stunning. We have already booked our next class being Middle Eastern. I would highly recommend any of Terri’s classes, not only for a fantastic gourmet experience but value for money and by far the best cooking class I have ever been too. I’ll also be back to purchase more of your superb Beetroot Relish!
