About Us

Since 2003, Main Course has occupied the southern end of the Historic Gas Buildings on Victoria Park in Auckland city. Our space is light filled, atmospheric & funky - blending the old exposed brickwork with state- of- the- art polished stainless steel benches and the very latest Fisher & Paykel equipment.

Our style of teaching is quite unorthodox -wearing tee-shirts & jeans  ( isn't that what most people wear at home when they cook? Besides, chef whites are so intimidating!  Our team draws even the most "won't cook" person into the wonderful world of "free - hand" healthy cooking.

Encouraging you to leave your cookbooks on the shelf they work with you on a host of things like knife skills (it's important to look & feel like a pro!), heat control (no more carbonaceous meat!) timing, menu planning and a lil ' bit of food science to help you understand the "whys?'

Based on the cook schools of Europe, Main Course was the first Auckland cook school to offer a complete cooking class experience in purpose built premises. Enjoy a demonstration of the class dishes first, then roll up your sleeves and get into it yourself, wrapping up with consuming your efforts at our wonderful dining table with your class mates.

Experience the joy of creating a wicked dish or two at Main Course and never be afraid of cooking for your Mother in-law or catering your own party again!

Team building & fun food events have become an integral part of our business too. What better way to get to know your colleagues or clients than creating a delicious meal together? Cooking is un-intimidating and much more appealing than climbing trees or sitting in a restaurant...... and it's really creative - a great way to let the analytical brain take a break! 

You can find us at 20 Beaumont Street.  There is 2 hour free parking directly outside the building and more in Victoria Park.
