You’ll also practice mincing herbs, working with leeks and applying your techniques to a complete meal. Start with crispy garlic mussels in buttered crumbs, then braise tender chicken with sweet onions. Enjoy roasted vegetables tossed in pomegranate molasses dressing alongside a fragrant herbed rice pilaf. Dessert is a surprise—crafted to let your new knife skills shine.

Chef Karen clearly has tons of experience under her belt! Her space is very well equipped and we got to learn new tips and techniques. The menu was great, giving us exposure to a cuisine that we weren't familiar with at all! It was truly a fun and enriching experience, would definitely recommend!
