Welcome to a real culinary extravaganza – a fun and hands on cooking class. If you live in Sydney, you are spoiled for choice with the wide variety of cuisines available at restaurants. Our culinary classes provide an opportunity to try something different. Each class will be dedicated to one of the world cuisines such as Azerbaijani, Georgian, Russian and many others.
We can help you to learn how to cook new dishes which you have probably never tried before. Culinary skills are always useful, because to feed loved ones with delicious dishes is priceless.
In the next class we will be cooking Khoyagusht (Azerbaijani Mountain Jew Omelette) to celebrate Hannukah. At first glance, Gyrmyzy Gasaba is just another small wind-blown town in northern Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan might be a Shia Muslim country, but Gyrmyzy Gasaba is considered to be the world’s last surviving shtetl (pre-Holocaust Jewish village). The community has long been known as “Mountain Jews,” who consider themselves quite separate from the world’s two major ethnic Jewish groups—Ashkenazi and Sephardi. For some, Gyrmyzy Gasaba is “Little Jerusalem,” possibly the only all-Jewish town outside Israel.
