Wickedfood Cooking School runs Johannesburg cooking classes throughout the year at its purpose-built cooking studios. We offer a variety of Cooking Classes. Cooking lessons are run in the mornings and evenings 7 days a week (subject to a minimum of 12 people). The venue is also popular for corporate events and private functions – team building cooking classes, birthdays, kitchen teas, and dinner parties with a difference.
Our classes are hands-on, where every person gets to participate in the preparation of the dishes. They are also a lot of fun where you not only learn new skills, but get to meet people with similar interests. For corporate groups and team building cooking classes these classes are a novel way of creating staff interaction or entertaining clients.
[…] Our favourite ingredient – Pomegranate Molasses. Sweet and tart, with the jammy sweetness of ripe fruit and the tangy bite of an aged balsamic vinegar, pomegranate molasses lends its distinctive flavor to many Mediterranean sweet and savory dishes. Most pomegranate molasses comes from the Middle East. In the making of pomegranate molasses, the juice of sour pomegranates is mixed with sugar and sometimes lemon juice, then boiled down until it’s a thick syrup. The subtly flavored condiment can also be drizzled over ice cream, incorporated into cakes and candies, and added to cocktails in place of grenadine syrup; indeed, old-fashioned grenadine is nothing more than a syrup of pomegranate boiled with sugar. Available from selected Woolworths or the importers 072 476-2824. See our recipe of the week. […]
