If you want delicious, restaurant grade food Elisa is the person to go to. I don’t think you could get what she made in a restaurant, it was so good! She arrived with everything she needed and was so organised in advance. She always replied fast and I felt I could trust her from the beginning. She is one talented professional chef. The food was mouth watering. I can’t wait to have Elisa back!

Cooking lesson (Turkish, Persian, Egyptian or other)

$90

Sydney Olympic Park NSW, Australia

1st Dec 2024

I'm interested in having someone teach me how to cook a dish from their own culture. Currently interested in Middle Eastern, North African, or West African. Ideally on a weekend, or weekday evening (Mon/Wed/Fri). Not sure what's easiest but let me know what works for you in terms of location. Happy to come to you, or here in Sydney Olympic Park. For example: Persian (e.g. Khoresht-e Fesenjan) Turkish Algerian Egyptian Syrian Senegalese (e.g. Chere or Thieboudienne) Maqluba, Mansaaf, etc.

Nina was the perfect Tasker! I absolutely loved my Egyptian cooking lesson with her. She was organised, kind, friendly, everything was planned so well. I would highly recommend booking Nina!
