Middle Eastern Cooking Class in Melbourne - 3 Hours

Treat someone to a hands on Middle Eastern cooking class in Melbourne, a relaxed three hour session that takes you straight into the heart of a traditional kitchen. Guided by expert chefs, you will chop, stir and plate your way through a spread of authentic dishes, picking up the spices, techniques and stories behind each one. Bake warm khubz pita bread, whip up creamy hummus, then move on to spiced lamb kawarma, roast eggplant with tahini and garlic, and a fragrant chicken stew rich with seven spice.

Along the way you will learn how to balance the flavours that give Middle Eastern cooking its soul, using fresh ingredients and traditional spices provided on the day. With small class sizes, all equipment supplied and a take home recipe booklet to keep, it is a warm and welcoming way to spend an afternoon. Gather a group or come solo, roll up your sleeves and sit down together to taste everything you have made.
