You will not just watch
Every seat has its own board, its own dough, its own apron. Whatever you shape with your hands that day goes home with you in a basket.
What a seat includes
Hands-on from the first minute
A full Persian meal
Everything you made, boxed up
An apron and a recipe booklet

Why “Manash”?
If today I have something to offer and to teach, it is all thanks to the model of my life — my mother.
Manash is what my sons called my mother. She filled our home with cardamom, rosewater and freshly baked sweets, and turned every Yalda night into something nobody forgot. She was my first teacher — everything I share at this table began at hers.

Seats are limited to keep one table, one conversation.
From past tables
Every workshop leaves something behind. Here are a few.




Before you book
Do I need any cooking experience?
Can you work around allergies or dietary needs?
Is the workshop in English or Persian?
What if I can't make it?
Can I book for a group or a private session?

There is always room at the table
Pick a date, bring your appetite, and leave with bread under your arm.
