WHAT YOU’LL DO

Explore rich Ethiopian flavors while preparing delicious tibs and spicy lentils.

Dive into the rich, aromatic traditions of Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine in this hands-on cooking class with Chef Mimi. From berbere-spiced sambusas to slow-sautéed tibs and fragrant lentils scooped with traditional injera, this culinary session offers a genuine immersion into one of the world's most distinctive and communal food cultures.

 

The menu to be crafted by you moves through a bright tomato and onion salata, crispy sambusas, beef or chicken tibs finished with berbere and niter kibbeh and a classic misir and gomen – spiced red lentils alongside garlicky Ethiopian-style spinach. The evening closes with a warm Habesha tea service with cinnamon, clove and cardamom alongside freshly baked himbasha bread. Book your spot today.

Guests are welcome to bring wine and beer to enjoy during the class.

Booked the class Handmade Fresh Pasta and Italian Tiramisu with Chef Mimi in Minneapolis

We took a pasta cooking class from Mimi for a date night and it was fantastic. Mimi is an excellent host and instructor. She's very friendly and warm. And she brings a clear passion for cooking and helping others experience that. We had a blast learning with her. Also, our food turned out amazing, it had such a careful choice of flavors for a classic alfredo linguini. I would love to take another class with her sometime. I imagine her Ethiopian dishes would be a special treat.
