Italian Comforts II

A deeper Italian session with bold regional flavours and precise technique. Prepare Sicilian caponata with its sweet-sour balance, a mushroom ragù served over creamy polenta, delicate spaghettini with shrimp, and the deceptively simple aglio e olio. A class that shows how restraint, timing, and good ingredients define Italian cooking.

Eastern Mediterranean

A vibrant Eastern Mediterranean class built around contrast — creamy, crisp, smoky, sharp, and fresh.

Thai Cuisine Favorites

A Thai session built around balance, not shortcuts. You’ll pound, grill, simmer, dress, and taste your way through the cuisine — learning how chilli, lime, herbs, coconut, fish sauce, and aromatics work together.

Salads

A salad class that goes beyond chopping and tossing. You’ll work with stale bread, crisp leaves, grains, fruit, nuts, herbs, and sharp dressings to understand texture, acidity, and seasoning.
