Cook with Leila in your kitchen, online via zoom. A great activity to do with the whole family as it is price per device. We may not be able to travel right now, but share a family experience learning about a new culture and cuisine with our online culinary adventures. Also a great date night!
This is a great opportunity to sample what our culinary adventures are all about without committing to the four hour experience.
Our online culinary experiences are moderated by In My Kitchen founder, Paula Mohammed.
Immersion experiences are a 4 hour experience in the Host's home. Includes a light snack upon arrival, approximately 2.5 hours of "in the kitchen" time, learning the recipes and participating in making the dishes, a full dinner shared together, and a booklet of recipes and in-depth culinary info.
All experiences are informal, warm and welcoming. IMK experiences are suitable for families.
Cooking with Leila:

Leila-North Iran: Khoresh Bademjan (Chicken and eggplant stew)
Khoresh Bademjan (Chicken and eggplant stew)

Koofteh aloo (Persian meatball with herbs and dried plum)
A very popular Persian dish as a main, appetizer and even for brunch. Served with a cucumber and minty yoghurt dip.

Leila-North Iran: Online Experience #3 (Vegan)
Bademjan Shekam Por
Stuffed eggplant with walnut and pomegranate molasses. This tasty eggplant dish is from a north western region or Iran: Azerbaijan. The eggplant has been an integral part of the Persian cuisine for hundreds of years and due to it's versatility and great flavour many dishes have been inspired by the eggplant.
Paloudeh (cantaloupe smoothie)
Even when smoothies were not a thing, years and years ago Persians would mix fruits, ice and rose water to stay cool on warm, long summer days. Paloudeh was often served as a dessert when I was a child and I have fond memories of having paloudeh served in an antique crystal bowl.
Leila-North Iran: Online Experience #2 (Vegetarian Option)
Borani Laboo (Yoghurt and beetroot dip)
This yoghurt, beetroot dip caters to all the senses. A vibrant colour that pleases the eyes as well as the tastebuds. Serve as a side dish or as dip with crackers or bread.
Baghali Polo ba morgh (can be made vegetarian)
(Saffron marinated chicken with Persian dill and fava bean rice)
This is a colorful fragrant dish, the mixture of fluffy rice, aroma of dill, and the texture of bean will leave you wanting more, especially if you pair it with that delicious juicy chicken. This dish is a traditional favourite and a must have at any gathering.
Leila-North Iran: Online Experience #4
Adas Polow (Ground beef with lentil saffron rice)
Rice is the most commonly eaten food in Iran and there are two types of rice. Polow consists of vegetables or meat cooked and mixed with the rice, whereas Chelow is a steamed rice served alongside dishes like kebabs and stews. In this dish we will make Polow with ground beef and lentils and saffron rice.
We always say that you can tell how good a cook someone is by how well they cook their rice.
Leila-North Iran: Online Experience #5 (Vegan)
Aash joo (Persian Barley and Herb soup)
A fragrant, healthy soup that offers many variations. A light dinner, lunch or even for breakfast.
Gilani Rice Honey Halva
Halva is very popular and traditional Persian dessert. This halva is made with rice flour and is typically found in the Gilan province.
