EmailDiscover why Persian cuisine is so well-loved and taste a selection of authentic dishes, in this food evening, with Cooking It.
A truly social event, Persian meals often last into the night as each dish is brought out one by one. This cuisine is a Cooking It favourite and on the menu will be 3-4 recipes made using seasonal ingredients, which can include:
- Crispy rice balls with feta, mint and pul biber
- Peanut and chicken stew with freshly made flatbread
- Maast o khiar - a selection of dips
- Persian vegetarian frittata
- Labnas
- Pomegranate molases meatballs
- Mojardara Persian Rice with lentils & crispy onions
Much of the menu and recipes can be adapted to the guests, and vegetarians are more than welcome - simply share any dietary requirements on booking. This is a hands-on experience where you will get to experiment with recipes and have the freedom to try things out for yourself under the guidance of your chef.
You’ll go away with the insight to create these flavourful Persian dishes yourself and the recipes for everything made on the night.

Chef Paul was excellent. He was friendly and helpful, and provided some interesting background information of the development of Persian cuisine. Timing was tight, but we managed to prepare all the dishes on time. They were very tasty nad we even had some leftovers to bring home!

This was a Christmas gift from me to my grown up children and a friend. We received a warm welcome from Ella, our host. The evening was fun from start to finish, Ella was excellent giving easy to follow instructions and the other guests were super fun. Highly recommended
