My husband, two daughters (10 and 13) and I attended a cooking class with Chef Hamzeh and his lovely wife, Victoria. We cooked a Middle Eastern dinner. There were many dishes, all delicious (hummus with lamb confit, fresh pitas, fattoush salad, meat skewers, rice pilaf, garlic mayo, and finally a a mango-topped mild pudding). Hamzeh and Victoria were both very warm and welcoming. We asked lots of questions along the way and learned a lot. We appreciated their patience with our varying skill levels. Hamzeh made sure the girls got lots of hands on experience, too, and we were all proud to have taken part in the creation of this delicious Middle Eastern feast. I would highly recommend this class.

Chef Hamzeh was incredible!!!!! Had the best time ever at an immaculate facility in downtown central Vancouver. We were lucky enough to just have the two of us in the booking which I would definitely recommend going as a small group as we got to participate in every part of the 4 course meal except for the dessert. I am a Foods teacher but very much enjoyed being a student of Chef Hamzeh. Him and his wife provided real world examples of how to apply this into our everyday life. 10/10 pleasant experience, genuinely hoping to return next year for another one of his classes.
