We welcome our students, friends and guests to join us for a week-long (7 days / 6 nights) food and cultural immersion near Cairo, Egypt in a stunning, private villa for the week. We have an amazing location in a beautiful, tranquil area, close to the pyramids and just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

We can accommodate a maximum of 10 people for the week, which will include multiple cooking classes (with what is available locally and seasonally) and as well as culinary and cultural tours, restaurant and other outings.

Our local guide will take us through the great Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx to learn and experience this incredible location together. The Pyramids of Giza were built more than 1,200 years before the rule of King Tut. With Chris’s connections in Egypt, we have access to some areas that are no longer open to the public.

Each morning, two students along with the chef will prepare breakfast for the group. After breakfast, enjoy some free time prior to meeting up again for the day’s activities and preparations of the recipes. On cooking days, we will enjoy a lighter, al fresco lunch and have an evening meal of the recipes we have created together.

Our last evening together, we will enjoy discussing what we have learned, fallen in love with and what we will take home from our experiences. Let’s ,enjoy our last taste of Egypt together with new friends and recipes!
