our cooking experiences

 
 

Hailing from some of the world’s most hospitable places, our Cooking Instructors are ready to take you on incredible food journeys exploring their incredible cultures. From crispy Somali sambusa to Egyptian treats from the streets of Cairo and all the recipes in between.

A Free to Feed Cooking Experience is different from an average cooking class. Expect three hours of hands-on cooking, rich storytelling and a final shared feast! Our experiences are designed to aid in the exchange of powerful memories, form life long connections, shape conversations and celebrate the ambition of newly arrived people.

Celebrate a special event with family and friends by doing something unexpected, delectable and supportive of a good cause. Or, roll up your sleeves just because! Fervent foodie or first-timer, everyone’s welcome in our kitchen.
