From Persian Comfort to Modern British Fusion: A Master Class in Global Flavors

Join Master Chef Gina D'Orazio Stryker for an intimate culinary journey exploring the depths of Persian cuisine and a contemporary twist on a British classic. In this hands-on workshop, you'll master two sophisticated dishes that showcase both traditional techniques and modern innovation.

First Course: Adasi (Persian Red Lentil Soup) Discover the ancient art of Persian soup-making as you learn to layer aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and caramelized onions with red lentils to create a silky, soul-warming soup. Master the technique of blooming spices and balancing flavors with dried Persian limes and fresh herbs.

Second Course: Reimagined Sticky Toffee Pudding with Miso Caramel Transform the beloved British dessert with a contemporary umami twist. You'll learn the secrets of creating a perfectly moist date-studded sponge, then elevate it with a sophisticated miso caramel sauce that adds unexpected depth and complexity to this classic comfort dessert.

In this class, you'll learn:

• Traditional Persian spice blooming techniques

• The art of building layers of flavor in soups

• Professional cake mixing and steaming methods

• Advanced caramel making with umami elements

• Plating techniques worthy of fine dining

Take home both recipes and the confidence to recreate these stunning dishes in your own kitchen. Class size limited to ensure personal attention.
