Aseel was an absolutely fantastic host, providing us with not only new culinary skills but also entertainment and cultural learning along the way. Thoroughly recommend!

We had a team-building virtual cooking session with Aseel and it was a delight to be able to experience authentic Middle Eastern food from our own kitchens! The ingredient boxes arrived via express post (make sure you check your mailbox!). We got the shopping list of fresh ingredients closer to the scheduled cooking day.

Aseel was a great host and answered all of our questions during the cooking session and is responsive over WhatsApp and email. We had a great time cooking and the food turned out to be quite refreshing!

We had a lot of fun and made some delicious food! A great family activity that we could do together even though we were all locked down in separate parts of the country. Thankyou Aseel.

Aseel was a delight and so easy to work with. She was so patient with the 16 of us having different speeds of cooking. The food was delicious and we completed all 3 dishes within the 2 hours, amazing. We loved the music that was played throughout and hearing about Aseel's humanitarian projects, you are an inspiration.

I had a really great time with the cooking class with Aseel Tayah. Baba Ganoush is a new found fav and the live music played during our evening made for an incredible experience.
