Egyptian Cookery Class

About this course

Participants work together in a family-style kitchen to prepare a selection of Egyptian dishes, including koshary, hawaashi, aubergine fatteh, salata khadra and qataif. Each person chooses one dish to focus on, while also moving around the kitchen to assist with and learn from the other recipes. The session combines shared cooking with a meal at the end, when participants eat the food they have prepared with the chef, facilitator and volunteers.

What you'll learn

• Prepare a selected Egyptian dish from the class menu.
• Practise contributing to the preparation of additional Egyptian recipes.
• Combine prepared dishes into a shared Egyptian meal.
