Always a super popular class with all the most delicious flavours of the Middle Easter and inspiration drawn from this region to create beautiful dishes you’ll want to make again and again.

Teachers:

Teachers: Kirstie Urquhart is a superb chef who worked for many years with us at Papadeli before setting up as a personal chef.  She is wonderfully inventive and knowledgeable and creates absolutely gorgeous food.

Simon MacDonnell, aka Papa, is co-founder of Papadeli and is still mad about good food over 20 years later! He know SO much about food, as you can imagine and loves sharing.

All chefs are brilliantly knowledgeable and super friendly, so you’ll have a lovely time watching and learning before getting stuck in with some fabulous ingredients. Classes are fun and informative.

Chefs rotate depending on how busy they are with catering, so expect to see any one (or a combination) of the above!

The Cookery School

Our cookery school, on the top floor above our deli, is a professional kitchen where our chefs create all the delights in the deli and superb food for catering events during the day – from canapés, buffets,  takeaway dishes, frozen meals and amazing cakes. In the evening, it’s a beautiful and perfect space for learning how to make all these dishes and taste some new flavours. If you ask nicely, Simon might give you a private tour of the deli…

You can purchase some of the oils, vinegars or special ingredients from the deli at a discounted price on the evening.
