The healthful, energizing cuisine of the Mediterranean comes to life in this unique cooking class with Chef Vanessa! Learn to use fresh ingredients to create regional classics that focus on nutrition without sacrificing taste.
You'll learn to create a smoky roasted red pepper lentil humus flavored with garlic and smoked paprika and a flatbread prepared using yogurt and whole-wheat flour. Then, you'll prepare chicken shawarma meatballs and fattoush salad featuring fresh tomatoes, parsley, feta and warm spices. And because dessert can be both healthy and delicious, enjoy a lesson in spiced rice pudding.

Vanessa is absolutely fabulous! Her energy is a great pilot for her food. We had the pleasure of being welcomed into her home for an intimate cooking experience for my boyfriend’s birthday. It did not disappoint! Menu was excellent and Vanessa was nice enough to pack us all the leftovers. My boyfriend is Italian and was so pumped to make the cookies he grew up eating, but never knew how to make. Highly recommend and would book another class for sure

I had the pleasure of doing two cooking classes with Chef Vanessa. They were so much fun, such a great personality and the menu was amazing. I have made them a couple of times and everyone loved it. Crab cakes with the yogurt Remoulade were amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
