Course themes

A Tasty trip to Finland

Treat yourself to a flavorful journey through Finland. This course introduces you to traditional Finnish flavors and some home-cooked dishes that Finns enjoy. The menu is seasonal and features authentic Finnish ingredients.

Korea

A typical Korean meal consists of several small dishes seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, sesame seeds, and other lovely flavors. Korean cuisine is known for its bold use of spices, especially compared to neighboring countries like China and Japan. In this cooking class, we will prepare dishes such as bulgogi beef, bibim guksu noodles and bindaetteok pancakes. Come and fall in love with the flavors of Korea!

Tuscany

Traditional Tuscan cuisine is celebrated worldwide for good reason: the simplicity of the dishes highlights natural flavors of seasonal, high-quality ingredients. Many dishes are based on legumes, vegetables, and herbs, and are served with meats, cheese, and, of course, olive oil. During the class, we will prepare dishes like pappa al pomodoro soup, fresh pasta, and cantuccini biscuits.

Georgian Food

As the saying goes, Georgians live to eat. Georgian cuisine incorporates an abundance of vegetables, spices, herbs, cheeses, and nuts. In this course, we will make dishes such as lobio stew, badrijani rolls, and hatsapuri bread.

Note: Walnuts are an essential part of Georgian cuisine. A vegetarian option is also available – please inquire!

Persian Food

Rose water, pomegranate, citrus, herbs, nuts, rice, and thick yogurt – Persian cuisine charms with its vibrant vegetables, fresh flavors, and variety. This cuisine is rich with herbs like dill, parsley, coriander, and chives. Lemons, yogurt, and pomegranate add a bright acidity to the dishes. However, the cornerstone of Persian cooking is, in its simplicity, Iranian rice, which we use to make tahdig, a golden, crispy saffron-flavored treat.

Note! Nuts are an essential part of Persian dishes. A vegetarian option is also available – please inquire!

Spanish Tapas

Tapas are small appetizers often enjoyed in Spain with a group before lunch or dinner—or even as a main meal by setting out an array of different types, as we’ll do in this course! In this class, you will learn to make traditional tapas and enjoy a full tapas spread. Dishes prepared include tortilla española, patatas bravas, and steamed clams.
