Omani Cookery Class

About this course

Participants explore Omani cooking through a family-style class in which the group prepares several dishes together. Each person chooses one dish to focus on, while also moving around the kitchen to assist with other recipes and learn from the wider menu. The dishes may include shorba, Omani samosa, vegetable saloona, makbous, tuna salad and khabeesa, covering soups, savoury pastries, stews, rice, salad and dessert. The session concludes with the group sharing the food prepared during the class.

What you'll learn

• Prepare a selected Omani dish as part of a shared cooking session.
