Prepare to take a culinary journey that will awaken your senses and expand your palate. On Tuesday, February 25th, the Irving Oil Field House in Saint John will host a vibrant and immersive Persian cooking class, offering participants the chance to dig into the rich culinary heritage of Iran.
Spice Up Your Night
Led by the talented guest chef Sara Hamidizadeh, this hands-on cooking experience is designed for anyone who loves food and culture. Persian cuisine is renowned for its delicate balance of flavors, vibrant colors, and aromatic spices. From the golden hues of saffron-infused rice to tender, perfectly seasoned kebabs, Persian dishes celebrate a harmony of sweet, sour, savory, and spicy notes.
During the class, participants will learn to prepare a selection of traditional Persian dishes from scratch. Guided step-by-step, you'll uncover the secrets behind the use of fragrant spices, fresh herbs, and age-old techniques that have been passed down through generations. Beyond cooking, this class offers an exploration of the culture and history that shapes this distinctive cuisine.
The class runs from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM and costs $25 plus tax, which includes all ingredients. At the end of the evening, you’ll sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared—a delicious reward for your efforts. Whether you’re a seasoned cook looking to expand your repertoire or simply curious about trying something new, this class offers a welcoming space for all skill levels.
Seats are limited, and interest is already high. Don’t miss this opportunity to immerse yourself in the flavours of Persia while connecting with fellow food enthusiasts.
