Cooking Class: A Middle-Eastern Vegan Experience
A Middle-Eastern Vegan Experience:
I am definitely not Vegan. I love my meat, and that is okay. I do believe it is necessary for the culinary world to be more plant-friendly, whether it is out of respect for the animals, or because a vegan diet has proven to have its benefits, we will embark ourselves on a vegan experience using the vast Middle East as inspiration for it. We will cover the use of beans, nuts, vegetables, whole grain, etc, to build a couple of dishes that showcase how you can be vegan, without losing flavours. We will be exploring the history of Middle Eastern cuisine and cultures, and veganism, using Falafel Tabbouleh and Hummus making as our main focus.
Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated if noted prior to the event. Please mention this in the message field when you submit your booking request as adjustments to recipes cannot be made during class.

I had the pleasure of planning the Birthday party of my husband Jim, and Chef Carlos gave us his A+ game recently and it was an absolutely delightful experience. The food was expertly crafted, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavor. Chef Carlos’ passion for cooking was evident in every bite, and his attention to detail was truly impressive. The service was impeccable and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I can't wait to go back and try more of Carlos’ delicious creations. Highly recommend it!

Hiring Chef Carlos as our personal chef was the best decision we ever made! From the moment he walked into our home, we knew we were in for a treat. His culinary skills are unmatched, and each meal he prepared for us was a true masterpiece. He walked us through the history of the food, the regions of the world where his food originated, and he made the evening unforgettable for my party of 12. Not only is Chef Carlos incredibly talented in the kitchen, but he is also a joy to be around. His friendly and professional demeanor made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We felt like royalty dining on his gourmet creations in the comfort of our own home. Thank you, Chef Carlos, for making our evenings so special with your amazing cooking!

I don't usually go for fancy catering services, but I have to say, the experience with Chef Carlos’ services was absolutely amazing. The food was just like grandma used to make - hearty, flavorful, and made with love. Him and his staff were friendly and down-to-earth, making us feel right at home. The presentation was rustic and charming, perfectly fitting the country theme. I was blown away by the quality of the food and the service. I'll definitely be recommending him and his team to all my friends and family for their next event. It was a taste of home, away from home, just as requested." Cathy Janco, 2024.
