Vegetarian Table of the East

Step into the sunny kitchens of the Eastern Mediterranean where food is more than a meal – it’s a way of bringing people together. You will prepare a colourful spread of mezze, grains, pastry and vegetables with a dessert inspired by the Eastern Mediterranean region. Join Turkish cookery writer, Ozlem for a hands-on cooking experience where you’ll learn the techniques of layering spices, balancing tangy, sweet and earthy notes, and creating texture through delicious ingredients. 

 You will learn to cook:

• Vardavit – Cannelloni beans and spiced flatbread croutons with tahini and yoghurt sauce
• Eksili sogan – Caramelised onions with tangy pomegranate molasses mezze
• Cilbir - Turkish style poached egg on yoghurt and paprika sumac butter
• Kunefe – Stretchy cheese filled crisp, sweet and buttery shredded pastry soaked in aromatic syrup finished with pistachio

 After the class you will sit down and enjoy the fruits of your labour with a tasty glass of wine.
