Persian cuisine is all about balance—sweet and sour, soft and crunchy, hot and cold—all coming together to create incredible depth of flavour. With its aromatic spices and vibrant ingredients, Persian food has something for everyone!
In this flavour-packed class, you’ll learn how to prepare a selection of classic Persian dishes, from juicy, spice-infused Kabob Koobideh to the golden, crispy-bottomed Yoghurt and Saffron Tahdig. You’ll also make a zingy, fresh Lebanese-style slaw and a cooling cucumber and yoghurt dip to complement your meal.
By the end of the session, you’ll have the confidence and skills to bring the rich, fragrant flavours of Persia into your own kitchen.
