Cuisine not only caters for all kinds of occasions,
such as dinner parties, birthday parties, weddings,
hen nights, Christmas parties, office parties, corporate

cookery classes in Lebanese cuisine.
The
classes are held in our Mediterranean garden, and in
Winter the classes take place in our dining room over
looking the Mediterranean garden, in front of a cosy
fire.
Each
class features three different Lebanese recipes, tips
on how to preserve food, best places to shop, how to
choose the ingredients, costs and the amount you need
to prepare for different occasions. You can also join
us, a day before on a shopping trip to the local market
or the Arabic shops to introduce you to many new ingredients,
and how to use them.
Each
cooking session accommodates four people. Everyone prepares
and helps to put together the meal and at the end of
each session we all sit down with a bottle of Lebanese
wine to sample the food.
All
participants will take home a plate of Lebanese Baklava,
a bag of Lebanese bread, all the recipes they tried
and general cooking tips.

Ingredients
10
Filo pastry sheets
4 tbsp of ground rice
2 Cups of milk
2 tbsp of sugar
1/2 cup of milk for brushing the sheets
2 tsp of rose water
To
fry:
2
Large cups of vegetable oil
Syrup:

Method
- Prepare
the syrup first. Put all the ingredients in a small
pan, stir until the sugar is dissolved.

on at a high temperature and stir from time to time
until the syrup is no longer watery. This will take
around 5 minutes.

- For
the rice pudding, put the cups of milk in a deep pan,
add the rice, sugar and rose water. Stir and place
on the hob at a medium temperature. Keep stirring
until all the ingredients dissolve and mix together
to make a paste, remove and let it cool down for a
few minutes.
- Take
one filo pastry sheet, place on a cutting board and
cut in two.
- Brush
the surface with milk and add a small spoonful of
rice pudding in the middle.
- Fold
the sides together and roll it to make a flat rectangle.
Do the same with the other half. Do the rest of the
sheets.
- Heat
the oil in a deep frying pan and fry the parcels until
golden.
- Remove
with a strainer and serve them on a plate.
-
Drizzle the syrup on top and serve at once.
