Middle Eastern Seafood Cooking Class Celebrates Bold Flavours and Coastal Tradition

A flavour-rich culinary journey through the Middle East is set to immerse participants in the region’s celebrated food traditions, where bold spices, fresh herbs and vibrant coastal influences come together. The hands-on cooking class highlights seafood-forward dishes inspired by the warmth and generosity of Middle Eastern hospitality.

Guided by expert chefs, participants are introduced to essential spices and blends that define the region’s cuisine, including sumac, za’atar and baharat. The session focuses on how these ingredients can transform simple recipes into deeply aromatic and flavourful dishes, with an emphasis on balance, technique and authentic preparation methods.

At individual cooking stations, guests prepare a complete Middle Eastern-inspired menu featuring an impressive whole roasted fish, crisp kataifi prawns, a fresh chopped salad and handmade za’atar flatbread. Each dish is designed to showcase traditional flavours while building practical skills that can be recreated at home.

The experience concludes with a communal dining session in an elegant setting, where participants enjoy the feast they have prepared together. Along with recipe takeaways and new culinary skills, guests leave with the confidence to bring the richness and generosity of Middle Eastern cooking into their own kitchens.
