Ottolenghi-inspired Middle Eastern Vegetarian Mezze

Join us for a fun, demo + hands-on cooking class making easy-to-follow vegetarian recipes adapted from recent popular Middle Eastern cookbooks: Ottolenghi's 'Test Kitchen Shelf Love', 'Flavour', Reem Kassis' 'The Palestinian Table', Claudia Roden's 'Med', and Adeena Sussman's 'Sababa'. Authentic and delicious Middle Eastern home cooking! Emphasis will be on recipes from Israel and Palestine that are easy to make in advance, perfect for end of year Christmas parties.

You'll be greeted with a complimentary housemade organic pomegranate kombucha and Middle Eastern appetizer and are also welcome to purchase wine and beer by the glass. Our chef will then demo a few dishes before splitting you into small groups to cook a variety of dishes from our menu. Each group will be making a different dish so we'll have lots of different tastes to sample at the end.

When you've finished cooking we will all sit down for a relaxed feast together.
