Best mate & I thought we had an idea about cooking meat until we did this course! It has completely changed the meat we are now cooking is outstanding!

This was a day of learning in such a fun way and will be doing this again with my father and brother
Well worth every cent

Really enjoyed the Low n Slow Masterclass! Went in as a complete novice, came out with a bunch of knowledge and technique, and have really hit the ground running cooking my own BBQ.

I am a fan. Attended a Lownslow masterclass to start me on the BBQ journey and never looked back. Game changer in terms of knbowledge, rressources to take away, entertainment and being well fed. Used UTH catering for a function and they are still talking about it. Now using UTH hood rubs to turn out amazing feeds.

Had a delicious meal last night. The presentation by the chef was so interesting and the meat delicious. Would definitely recommend this way of entertaining. Just superb. 👍👍👍

We have now been to two Master classes with Dave and Michelle one in Nelson and one in Queenstown both were amazing. We came away from the Nelson class owners of just a gas bbq we now own 7 or 8 Bbqs a few charcoal and a Traeger pellet as well. We have taken away so much information and tips and tricks totally recommend their courses and rubs and sauces
