Persian Cuisine - Exotic Delights

If you enjoy Persian food, there is no problem getting the unique and exotic ingredients. This class will introduce you to Persian cuisine's beautiful and colourful world. Cuisine, with a harmony of colour, flavour, and aroma, combines grains, fruit, meats, and fresh herbs and spices for an inspiring yet comforting culinary experience. The proliferation of Persian restaurants and grocery stores in Toronto has blossomed, making cooking up a feast easy.

The menu includes a Persian Chicken Stew dish TBD, Persian Rice with a golden crust, and Upside-down Orange Turmeric Cake. And maybe some surprises depending on the number of guests.

After the preparation, our chef instructors will plate the meal, and the students will be seated to enjoy their creations. During the meal, the student chefs will explain how they prepared their recipe so that everyone learns to make all the dishes. The recipes will be e-mailed to the students after the class.

Menu

The stated menu may differ due to seasonality, ingredient availability, and our creative impulses. However, the final menu will remain faithful to the course theme.

Classes run from 6 pm - 8:30 pm

Scheduled Classes vs. Private Events: Our Scheduled classes are not private. That means the limit for a group that knows each other is four. This becomes a private event if you have more than four guests. We can give you a quote for an event of this kind. Please get in touch with me directly. 

There is no refund for the class. However, if you cannot make the scheduled date and let us know five working daysbefore your confirmed class, we will reschedule you for a future class.

Cancellations: If you must cancel at the last minute, please send a friend to your place, as we have planned the class for the confirmed number of guests. 

Change in Class Date: If, due to unforeseen circumstances, this class has to be moved to another date, you will be notified at least two working days before the class.
