Bring the flavors of the Mediterranean coast to life in this hands-on 3-course cooking class in Chicago. Guided by Chef Yani, you’ll learn how to turn fresh, simple ingredients into a colorful meal filled with bright herbs, citrus, olive oil and comforting coastal flavors. The class is listed as a 2.5-hour experience with a 3-course meal.

Begin your 3-course meal by making homemade hummus with chickpeas, lemon, cumin and olive oil, learning how to balance creamy texture with bold, zesty flavor. Next, prepare Greek chicken with lemon and feta, using chicken breast, thyme, white wine and citrus to create a savory main course that feels fresh, rustic and satisfying.

To finish, create a light Mediterranean-inspired dessert with Greek yogurt, honey, balsamic vinegar and mixed berries. At the end of class, sit down to enjoy the full 3-course feast you helped prepare. This relaxed cooking experience is a great fit for date night, solo food lovers, friends and anyone who wants to bring more sunny Mediterranean flavor into their home kitchen. Guests are welcome to bring wine or beer to enjoy during the class.
