Learn to cook a colourful Lebanese inspired feast, with Chicken Shawarma, Mint Rice with Pomegranate and Feta salsa, and a Pistachio Knafeh Dessert.
If big flavours, plenty of herbs and a table full of good food are your thing, this could be the class for you.
In this hands-on Lebanese cooking class in Edinburgh, we’ll spend three hours putting together a colourful feast, filled with spices, herbs, pomegranate, pistachios and plenty more.
You’ll learn to make spiced Chicken Shawarma alongside Mint Rice with a fresh Pomegranate and Feta Salsa. We’ll also make Baked Nectarines with Mast-o-esfenaj, before finishing with Pistachio Knafeh – a Middle Eastern dessert with crispy pastry and a pistachio topping.
You’ll make everything on the menu, working in pairs, so you’ll get hands-on with every dish rather than simply contributing one part of the meal. Along the way, you’ll pick up plenty of techniques, flavour combinations and ideas that you can take home and use in your own cooking.
As with all classes at The Wee Kitchen, this is a relaxed, sociable cooking experience. There’ll be demonstrations and guidance along the way, plenty of time to cook, and we’ll sit down together at the end to enjoy everything we’ve made.
Come on your own, bring a friend or make a date night of it. No previous cooking experience is needed, and there’s plenty here for more confident cooks to get stuck into too.
The class is BYOB, so bring along something you’d like to drink while you cook.
All classes take place at Cyrenians Flavour and Haver Cook School in Leith, check out our venue guide for transport, accessibility and more.

This class is BYOB, so you’re very welcome to bring along drinks to enjoy during the session. We’ll sit down together at the end to enjoy the food we’ve prepared.
You don't have to bring anything. However, I recommend that you bring an apron, a tupperware for leftovers, and since it's BYOB - something to drink.
You’ll be working in pairs during the class. If you’re booking on your own, don’t worry - you’ll be paired up on the day.
Our classes can be adapted to suit a range of dietary requirements. These lists highlight some of the dietary needs we can and can't accommodate, but they aren't exhaustive. If you don't see your requirement listed or you're unsure, please get in touch before booking and we'll be happy to advise.
Our kitchen is cleaned and maintained to a high standard, but we can't guarantee it's completely free from allergens. For this reason, our classes aren't suitable for people with coeliac disease.
Please let us know about any dietary requirements when you book so we can make sure we have the right ingredients ready.
A minimum of 4 participants is required for the class to run. If we need to cancel or amend the session due to low numbers, you will be informed in advance and offered a full refund.
Cancellations made 7 days or more before the class are eligible for a full refund or transfer to another class. Cancellations made within 7 days of the class are non-refundable, unless your place can be filled by another participant.
If we are able to fill your spot, a refund or class transfer will be issued. Thank you for your understanding - classes require advance preparation and ingredient purchasing.
