Ready. Set. Cook.

There’s something special simmering in the Ajani kitchen in 2026, with a delicious lineup of cooking classes designed to bring people together through food, stories and shared skills.

The term kicks off with Mediterranean Summer Cooking, welcoming back our much-loved nonnas. With their trademark warmth and wisdom, they’ll share a menu of fresh, seasonal recipes inspired by Mediterranean summers — perfect for keeping cool while making the most of vibrant flavours and simple techniques.

In March, we’re excited to introduce Cook with Teta, led by Lebanese cooking extraordinaire Ekbal. In this hands-on demonstration, Ekbal will guide participants through simple yet flavour-packed Middle Eastern recipes, offering tips, traditions and plenty of inspiration for home cooks of all levels.

Rounding out the month, on 31 March, join us for a relaxed and Practical Dumpling Workshop. This easy how-to session will show you how to make dumplings you can confidently whip up at home — perfect for weeknight dinners or sharing with family and friends.

Whether you’re keen to learn new skills, revisit familiar flavours or simply enjoy cooking alongside others, Ajani’s cooking classes are a joyful celebration of food, culture and community.
