Similarly, a pasta-making class will typically see you getting hands-on with the time-honored techniques required to roll and fill fresh pasta, before whipping up sumptuous sauces to pair with it.
In most cases, your chef will also cover skills that are essential to most cuisines. Think knife handling, ingredient preparation, seasoning and kitchen safety.

What types of cooking classes can I choose from?

Equally, if you’re new to the kitchen, there are plenty of beginner-friendly experiences that are perfect for honing your skills.
You can also choose from a wide selection of themes. You might be in the mood to roll restaurant-grade sushi, prepare dishes worthy of your favorite Parisian bistro or cook kabsa like a Jeddah local. Whatever you choose, you’ll learn to cook it under the guidance of an expert chef. With over a decade’s experience, they know exactly what it takes to help you level up your home cooking.
Where do the classes take place?
This is up to you! Perhaps you want to enjoy one of Jeddah’s top cooking classes in the comfort of your home or vacation rental. If so, all that’s required is a clean and functional kitchen plus enough space for your guests to take part safely. Provided that those are in place, your chef will gladly come to you.
