We understand and agree to the Cancellation Policy, which states that “Class reservations are like theatre tickets – the show must go on! Therefore, if you find that you cannot make it, we strongly encourage you to send someone else in your place. If need to cancel more than 30 days before your class, you may without penalty. If you need to cancel within 30 days, but more than 14 days, you may switch your reservation to any other of our classes with space available (and pay the difference if necessary). If you must cancel within 14 days, you may exchange your reservation only if we can fill your space in the class. We will certainly work with you to find someone to take your space if we can help, but we encourage you to find someone on your own. If we cancel a class due to unforeseen circumstances or lack of interest, we will refund you in full.”

Street Foods of the World Culinary Workshop
2025-10-29 18:30 - 21:00, 2025-11-05 18:30 - 21:00
Embark on a flavorful journey in our “Street Foods of the World” cooking class, where the bustle and aroma of global street markets come alive in your own kitchen! In this hands-on experience, you’ll learn to prepare iconic bites from across continents, each bursting with distinctive flavor, history, and technique.
We’ll start in South Asia with crisp Vegetable Samosas, stuffed with spiced potatoes and peas, served alongside tangy, vibrant chutneys. Then, journey to East Asia for savory Pork and Mushroom Shu Mai, delicate dumplings packed with umami and steamed to perfection. From the Balkans, you’ll craft flaky Spinach and Feta Burek, layering thin pastry with rich filling, and pair it with smoky, red-pepper ajvar.
Next, head to Mexico for elote—grilled Mexican street corn coated in creamy, cheesy, chili-lime goodness—before hopping over to Italy for golden Arancini, crisp-fried risotto balls filled with melty cheese. Finally, experience West Africa’s bold, comforting flavors with Ghanaian Kelewele, spicy-sweet fried plantains seasoned with ginger, pepper, and aromatic spices.
Along the way, you’ll pick up practical cooking skills, from pastry handling to dumpling folding, spice blending, and deep-frying techniques, all while expanding your culinary repertoire. This class is a delicious celebration of the world’s favorite street eats—fun, fast, flavorful dishes designed to be shared. Whether you’re a curious beginner or an adventurous home cook, you’ll leave with new skills, a full belly, and recipes to recreate the magic of global street food at home.

BYOB

We suggest something like a crisp lager, a dry rosé, a lightly sparkling lambrusco or your favorite mocktail if the spirit moves you. International sodas would also be a great idea. Something festive, fun, and easy to sip is just right.

ADMIT ONE

Each ticket admits one person, but don’t let that stop you. This is a great experience to share with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, frenemies, and anybody you want to share the cooking and eating with!
