It's no secret that Mediterranean countries are praised for their flavorful and healthy cuisine. Whether it's putting to use their abundance of fresh, colorful produce and fragrant herbs, their attention to eating from all food groups, or refusal to skimp on good olive oil and bread... learning the secrets of Mediterranean cooking is a coveted skill for all true foodies.
In this class, you will learn how to make three Mediterranean-themed small plates that will please both vegetarians and omnivores alike. As is tradition in the Mediterranean, you will learn the art of creating a vibrant and healthy array of light bites that make for the perfect appetizers or first course of any party. Your wonderful Chef Instructor will guide you through the steps of making Stuffed Dates with goat cheese and almonds wrapped in prosciutto, Mini Spanikopita (Greek Spinach Pie), and Catalonia Style Tomato Bread. You will learn the necessary knife skills, cooking techniques and tricks to plating these delectable dishes in addition to learning about our Chef's favorite resources in Miami for sourcing fresh ingredients. Perhaps you'll be inspired to gather your friends and host your own Mediterranean Tapas party at home after this entertaining class!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets if you don’t already have them in your home kitchen. Our events are casual and meant to be fun and instructive, not hardcore. This class is designed to be just as fun for the cooking enthusiast who wants to be a part of every step as it is for the first-timer who’s happier observing and assisting (or taste testing).
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in. You will be seated with your booking party, working together to share equipment and ingredients. Aprons will be provided for you to use throughout class. Our venue partner, BarMeli69 (a beautiful Mediterranean restaurant suited perfectly for this topic), will have a selection of beer & wine available for purchase. Please note that drinks are available for purchase from the venue and are NOT included in your ticket price. Outside drinks are not available.
