Discover the bold flavors of Burmese cuisine in this hands-on Berkeley cooking class led by Chef Sara. Great for all skill levels, this workshop invites you to explore traditional recipes while learning the stories and techniques behind each dish. Vegetarian and vegan adaptations are easily accommodated, making it accessible for everyone.
The class begins with a chef-led introduction to the menu, ingredients, and cultural influences of Burmese cooking. You’ll then break into small groups to prepare a selection of beloved dishes, working collaboratively in a fun and supportive environment. You will make khowsay (noodles in coconut curry sauce that can be made vegetarian), Burmese eggplant, coconut rice, atto (Burmese street food), and Burmese Tea.
A light snack will be served at the start, and you’ll sit down to enjoy the delicious meal you’ve created together at the end of class. This Burmese cooking class is perfect for a date night idea, an outing with friends, or for anyone looking for cooking classes for beginners with easy recipes. Come hungry and leave inspired with new skills and flavors to recreate at home!
