Mediterranean Tapas Party
Description
In this class, you will learn how to make three classic Mediterranean small plates that will please both vegetarians and omnivores alike! We will make hummus, tabbouli, stuffed grape leaves from scratch, paired with home-made pita chips. You will learn the art of plating, garnishing your masterpiece with olives, pickled turnips, and roasted red bell peppers for colorful and vibrant plate. Chef Paulina, an expert in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, will be your chef instructor this evening at this fun-filled cooking class taking place in El Cajon. Bring your favorite wine, beer, or champagne and let's get this mezze party going!
No experience is required! We provide all the equipment and ingredients, which are easy to find at local markets. 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.
Please arrive 15 minutes early to check in, wearing your mask. Class is BYOB friendly!

Meet your chef instructor
My name is Paulina, and I would like to take you on the culinary tour of a lifetime! After studying European Food Business in the Netherlands, France, and Italy, I absorbed so many wonderful culinary experiences that I am passionate about sharing. Additionally, I went to culinary school on the island of Malta and learned a variety of Mediterranean cuisines. I believe that food is love with a special ability to bring people together and help foster community.
Where the class will be
There is a large parking lot for guests to utilize. The kitchen where class will take place is in the building on the right of the church. Classes are BYOB friendly.
Guest requirement
This BYOB (wine, champagne or beer) class takes place in the hall with a kitchen attached to St Ephrem Church in El Cajon. The hall/kitchen is located in the building to the right of the church, there is a parking lot for guests to utilize outside. At this time, all guests are required to wear masks during class regardless of vaccination status. Your chef instructor will wear a mask throughout the entire class as well.

Paulina was a great teacher, she explained the food science behind the dishes but still made the class very accessible for novice cooks like my husband and I.

We had a really nice time. No issues and the food was great. The Chef new what she was doing and had a nice history around the food. We thought maybe a little music in the room (related to the dish) and we actually asked her to slow down the descriptions because it was very interesting, and we wanted to catch the details!
Thanks agian!

We had a small but congenial group. Pauline had everything prepared for us to enjoy making the appetizers. And they were delicious. Better than any I have had served in restaurants!! And easy enough to make on my own. I would definitely recommend her and this class as well for healthy eating.
