Custom Cooking Classes for 11-20 Guests
about the Experience
For larger groups, we split the guests into 2-4 stations depending on the group size, with a home cook guiding every station. The flow of the experience will include hands-on elements supported by quick demonstrations as well. Our team preps the food in advance to ensure a smoother and more time efficient experience for your guests.
While the market tour is available, we recommend skipping it due to the large group size and/or presence of children, however, the decision is the guests' and we're happy to accommodate their preference either way.

Kofta Daoud Basha: Beef and sauce prepped ahead; guests shape the meatballs and join in as it cooks.
