About this Event
ABOUT THE CUISINE
Omani cuisine blends Asian influences with aromatic spices and herbs from the Middle East that bring warmth to every dish – like Hani’s Makbous, a popular and traditional rice dish that is known for its deep, aromatic taste and considered a symbol of Omani hospitality.
ABOUT THE CHEF
My name is Hani, and I come from the Sultanate of Oman — a beautiful country in the Middle East with a rich history, deep-rooted traditions, and a vibrant culinary culture.
My mum taught me to cook - she is Egyptian and I really love Egyptian food. My dad was from Oman, and I think this has helped me create my own type of cuisine - a mix of Egyptian and Omani food.
My dad also loved to cook, so I had two very good teachers. I improved my cooking skills through observing and working with chefs in my restaurant business. Now I'm in the UK, I’m starting a new chapter and bringing with me the flavours of Oman. I hope to open my own restaurant business in London one day. It is my honour to serve as a culinary ambassador for my homeland — to connect people, cultures, and communities, one dish at a time.

Join Hani's hands-on, social cookery class in London to learn to make authentic Omani dishes — and celebrate the flavours, skills, and culinary traditions refugees bring to the UK.
THE CLASS FORMAT
Our cookery classes are family-style - meaning everyone works together to prepare the dishes as a team.
While you’ll be asked to choose one dish to focus on, you’ll have the opportunity to move around the kitchen, help with other dishes, and learn from each recipe. It’s a fun, social, and collaborative way to cook! At the end of the class, you’ll sit down with the chef, class facilitator and volunteers to enjoy the delicious meal you’ve created together.
