3 hours Class size 1 to 15 guests

$119 (Afterpay available)


Learn how to prepare and cook mystical and beautiful Middle Eastern cuisine taught in an interactive group cooking class in Brisbane! You will even enjoy a feast of all the meals prepared at the end of all your hard work!
Cooking and eating are central to Middle Eastern culture and many home cooks spend hours, sometimes days, preparing an impressive spread of dishes for family feasts.
Grains play an essential and versatile role in the diet, with dishes varying from chickpeas to burghal wheat, couscous, and more. Dairy staples include labna and halloumi.
Let us teach you how to create these feasts in minutes, not hours, and also learn how to bling up your presentation and get a round of applause at your next dinner party or family meal! When it comes to dessert, it's a case of the sweeter the better. Enjoy our mysterious dessert with our very own culinary bling.
At the end of the class, you will have the opportunity to sit back, relax and feast on your delicious homemade food.
The Middle Eastern Menu:
Available Vegetarian and Dairy Free
  • Baked felafel on fragrant tabbouleh stacks
  • Fabulous chickpea, butternut and feta hummus with cumin and pistachio dust/sumac
  • Mince or Potato Kibbeh with traditional dips
  • House made Ras el Hanout spice roasting your own spices and pounding your own blend
  • Knafeh – the most mysterious and delicious Middle Eastern dessert
Enjoy a drink in our fully licensed bar with gin cocktails!
VZ Class format is a mixture of demonstration and group cooking practices. Instead of individual work stations, students will work in pairs and cook in groups of 4. And afterwards, enjoy a feast of the meals prepared. Demonstration aspects of classes ensure we cover enough content to make you into a fabulous chef.
