Middle Eastern Barbecue Workshop

Our most popular workshop to date. Build a fire and this couple will come. Nicola and Dvir have spent years barbecuing and cooking over fires in Israel where it’s a national pastime, and on Nicola’s family farm where they’ve made a fire-cooking haven. Meat is usually the go-to for most cooking on fire but this couple love the flavour it gives to vegetables too.

Dishes prepared on the night: mashweya (barbecued salad), flatbreads, lamb kebabs, chicken shishlik, charred cabbage with harissa & date dressing. For dessert we’ll prepare a Middle Eastern style summer pudding. Served with salads, sauces and sides.

Join us, Dvir and Nicola, in our award-winning deli* where you’ll cook along with us and learn how to prepare some of Mezze’s most popular dishes. You can book one workshop below or all six with a 10% discount.
