Middle Eastern Mezze

About this event

Join acclaimed South Australian chef, food writer and much-loved cookery teacher Rosa Matto — for an unforgettable journey along the ancient Spice Road.

In this hands-on experience, we travel from the Levant to the Maghreb, exploring the bold spices, fragrant herbs and sun-drenched dishes of Lebanese, Turkish, Moroccan and Tunisian cuisine. Expect a sensory journey through bustling markets, family tables and fragrant spice stalls —a generous menu, a busy class- designed to be shared with friends and family.
