What to expect:

Every session is uniquely curated with the various instructors, and therefore will always be a little bit different. You can be sure that every session will include hands on cooking instruction, eating and connecting with others- all of the ingredients for a good time! Check out our menu for the class below. We always have special *surprise* add-on's from the instructor, so don't miss out on trying all of our great menu items and more!

SIYEG is more than a cooking class; it’s community building, empowering local talent, and of course.... amazing food!

Allergens in this class: gluten (bread), dairy, eggs, sesame (tahini), walnuts, pine nuts, meat products (beef & chicken). Although we can make some accomodations depending on the menu, we cannot always facilitate this, and are not working in a gluten free/safe kitchen. If you have severe food allergies or sensitivites, please reach out to us before purchasing tickets to see if we are able to make accomodations.
