A new immersive culinary adventure in NYC where immigrants teach intimate cooking workshops in their homes. Each experience will offer opportunities for meaningful connection and social interaction, cultural engagement and exchange, culinary learning and discovery, and exceptional eating and drinking.

Through this experience, we seek to build cross-cultural connection and understanding, increase access to traditional cooking knowledge, and provide meaningful, well-paid employment and training for immigrants.

My husband and I did this together. It was great fun. This was the first time I made Lebanese food. The teacher was very good, the assistant made it very easy- keeping track of the group and the flow of the class. They were very attentive to everyone. The very best part..we made delicious food. Now I have a few new recipes that I can easily make again. I’m looking forward to taking more cooking classes.

Argentinian Cooking Online #2 with Mirta

Attended: Argentinian Cooking Online #2 with Mirta


The instructor was lovely, and her knowledge not just of the cooking, but of the regions and wines of Argentina were a delight. She was in her home kitchen, and at the end, her daughter and husband came to share the meal! It felt very relaxed and unintimidating, while the cooking was incredible - a woman who has grown up with these foods, and knows the ins and outs and little tricks and tips for success. These courses also have a person called a supporter, who is indispensable to the quality of the course, ensuring that if people have questions, the chef knows that, and repeating any parts of the recipe that might be confusing. The experience was wonderful from start to finish, and my husband and I both had a great time!

I really enjoy learning ethnic cuisine from people who are from the actual place. It was lovely to learn authentic Greek cooking from a native of Greece. Loved the recipes and chatting with Despina and her daughter/granddaughter? Would like to take another class from Despina.

Persian Cooking Online 2 with Mab

Loved the class and the personal story of Mab's. It was also great to have a moderator (Justine) who would type into chat what was happening and with instructions. This way if you missed what was said, you could look at the next step. I have found often with these classes that the written recipe is changed once you are in person and with the noise, even in your own kitchen, you sometimes miss what was said. The food was delicious and everyone in the family enjoyed it. Thanks for offering the virtual classes.
