Join us for an exciting cooking session based around spice, where we’ll dive into a world of bold flavors and diverse cuisines! Your evening will start with a creamy hummus appetizer elevated with za’atar and roasted garlic, blending the earthy Middle Eastern spice mix with sweet, mellow garlic notes. Next, you’ll prepare hearty Ethiopian berbere-spiced lentils, infused with a rich mix of chili peppers and warm spices for a comforting and vibrant dish. Our culinary journey continues as Abbey guides you through making Jamaican jerk kebabs, marinated in a zesty spice blend of allspice, scallion, and scotch bonnet peppers, delivering a delicious smoky and spicy kick. Finally, you’ll indulge in a decadent Saigon cinnamon crème brûlée, topped with torched vanilla sugar for a crisp, caramelized finish. This session promises a delightful exploration of global flavors, perfect for expanding your cooking repertoire and tantalizing your taste buds. Recipes will be included. Tickets are priced per person.
