Iranian Cookery Class with Mina | LONDON | Cookery School

Nothing beats a home-cooked meal shared with family! And this is what inspires our Family Style Cookery Classes, a fun, laid-back homestyle cooking experience. Here, you will learn to prepare different dishes and then enjoy them with people who, like you, fuel our mission of supporting refugee and migrant chefs on their journey to integration. It’s a cookery class with a conscience, like they say!

Your class will be led by our wonderful Chef Mina from Iran at the in Clerkenwell, London.

At our Family Style Cookery Classes, you will be grouped with other participants and prepare dishes together as a team. Think of Chef Mina as the head of the family! She will take care of dividing the class into groups, and each group will be responsible for creating one of the dishes. Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to move around during the class to learn about the other dishes being prepared. Throughout the evening, Chef Mina will share stories about their food and culture, and explain how to prepare each of the dishes so you come away with some new cooking tricks and inspiration from Iran. You will also be emailed the recipes after the class.

A message from our Chef Mina:

“My name is Mina and I am Iranian. I come from the southwest part of Iran but grew up in Tehran within a large family. I learned as a teenager the pleasure of cooking. My dishes are based on traditional Iranian recipes to which I have added my creative twist. Cooking has become a joyful way for me to have a positive impact on individuals and groups. For me, cooking is not just a skillful blending of flavours and colours, but something that brings people together to talk and connect. My classes are a way to create memorable moments for participants.

I value community engagement and work as a volunteer in a local charity, hoping to make a positive contribution to the lives of others. At some point, I would like to use my degree in business management and my experience in event management to set up my own business."
