Course themes

A Tasty trip to Finland

Treat yourself to a tasty trip to Finland. Course gives you an idea about traditional Finnish flavors and some home food classics that Finns eat. Seasonal menu with Finnish ingredients.

Korea

A typical Korean meal consists of several small dishes that are seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, sesame seeds and other lovely flavors. A signature for Korean cuisine is the generous use of different spices compared to its neighboring countries China and Japan. During the cooking class we will prepare e.g. bulgogi beef, bibim guksu noodles and bindaetteok pancakes. Come and fall in love with Korean flavors!

Tuscany

Traditional Tuscan cuisine is famed around the world for a reason: the simplicity of the dishes brings out the natural flavours of seasonal quality produce. The basis for many dishes forms around various kinds of legumes, vegetables and herbs that are served with meats, cheese and, of course, olive oil. During the class we will prepare e.g. pappa al pomodoro soup, fresh pasta and cantuccini biscuits.

Georgian Food

The saying goes that Georgians live to eat. Georgian cuisine uses plenty of vegetables, spices, herbs, cheeses and nuts. During the course we will be making, e.g. lobio stew, badrijani rolls and hatsapuri bread. Note! Walnuts are an essential part of Georgian cuisine. Also ask for a vegetarian course!

Persian Food

Rose water, pomegranate, citrus, herbs, nuts, rice and thick yogurt. Persian cuisine charms with the abundance of vegetables and their versatile use, as well as their fresh flavors. Persian cuisine is bathed in herbs such as dill, parsley, coriander and chives. Lemons, yogurt and pomegranate add acidity to the food. However, the cornerstone of the kitchen is, in all its simplicity, Iranian rice, which is used in the course to make golden brown, crispy tahdig flavored with saffron. Note! Nuts are an essential part of Persian dishes. Also ask for a vegetarian course!

Spanish Tapas

Tapas is a small aperitif snack that is often enjoyed in Spain with a group before lunch or dinner – or as a main meal by laying out many different kinds of them on the table, as is done in this course! In this course, you will learn how to make traditional tapas and enjoy a hearty tapas table. The course prepares e.g. tortilla española, a serving of patatas bravas, and steamed clams.
