I'd walked past Spice Bazaar many times and sometimes seen classes in action, but hadn't got around to finding out more about it. A work related event provided the opportunity to find out more! Inside the kitchen area was modern and clean with two islands for prep and hobs and ovens against the back wall.At the front the tables were set...
We worked in groups of four filling up the two benches in the kitchen area. The first thing we worked on were the Spanish tortillas with an anchovy, capers and lemon zest filling.
Jill flipped the omelettes using a plate.
They were finished in the oven and formed part of the second course.
The entrée included Rhodes zucchini fritters with mint and wine marinated feta...
...Za'atar Spiced Lebanese Bread with a herbaceous, topping imparting tangy and nutty flavours.
The final component of the first course were the home style nachos with classic toppings and served with a guacamole.
The main course featured a variety of salads including Piquillo with sweet smokey roasted capsicum fillets topped with anchovy, red oinion, Spanish Sherry vinegar and extra virgin olive oil....
... a Spanish black olive, fennel and orange salad....
...and a Broccoli salad.
The centre piece of the mains were the veggie and chicken and chorizo paellas.
There were also Koftas.
To finish we prepared and ate pears poached in Moroccan spices, with citrus labne whip.
I've let the photo's do the talking, as I'm not sure 'reviewing' food I'd help cook (when I didn't have the camera out) was really fair. The dishes were all flavoursome and the ingredients authentic and good quality. The business was originally focussed on spice production, but has now successfully been teaching for a couple of years. The hosts were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was different and enjoyable activity to participate in with colleagues and certainly and fun and educational way to spend an evening!
