Service Description

TASTE OF THE MIDDLE EAST Join us in The Cookery School for our Taste of… series and discover the vibrant, aromatic and wonderfully diverse cuisine of the Middle East. This hands-on, full-day cookery course will introduce you to some much-loved Middle Eastern dishes, exploring the beautiful combination of fragrant spices, fresh herbs, grains, vegetables, pulses, meat and citrus that make this cuisine so distinctive. You’ll learn how to balance flavours and textures while picking up techniques and recipes that you can easily recreate at home. £100 per person | Lunch included Your Day Your day begins at 9.45am at the Furnace Café, where you’ll be welcomed with tea or coffee, included as part of your experience. This is a chance to meet your fellow delegates and your chef before heading into The Cookery School. Your chef will talk you through the class menu and how the day will run, before you’re assigned your own workspace in our fully equipped kitchen, overlooking the beautiful Bodnant Welsh Food surroundings. Our step-by-step tuition is fun, relaxed and easy to follow, whether you’re an experienced cook or simply looking to learn something new. You’ll be guided through each recipe by your chef, with the Cookery School team on hand throughout the day to offer help, advice and encouragement. Everything you need is provided, including all ingredients, equipment and an apron, with drinks available throughout the class. Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to taste and enjoy what you’ve prepared, and you’ll be served a light lunch with refreshments during the day. By the end of your class, you’ll leave with new skills, recipe notes and your own delicious dishes to enjoy at home — as well as plenty of inspiration to continue exploring Middle Eastern cooking in your own kitchen. Please remember to bring suitable containers with you so you can take your dishes home. Come and spend the day cooking, learning and discovering the wonderful flavours of the Middle East with us! Unfortunately we are unable to tailor recipes in this course with substitutions for dietary requirements or allergies as it can significantly change the composition and outcome of the dishes.
