Learn interactively instead of relying on a recipe page or prerecorded video you cannot ask questions in.
Live Group Classes
Cook alongside other students in real time, sharing the kitchen energy of a real class — not a solo video call.
Taught in Persian
Classes are taught in Farsi, so recipes, techniques, and family stories behind them are never lost in translation.
Real Home Cooks & Practitioners
Learn from people who grew up cooking these dishes, whichever cuisine the class covers — not recipe-card instructors.
Six Cooking Paths
Choose Persian cooking or world cuisine, or focus on practical skills such as bread, desserts, grilling and drinks.
Join From Anywhere

Cultural Depth
Food carries the same heritage as language and poetry — cooking is another way for families to keep a culture's traditions alive, whichever cuisine they're learning.

Before you book
Do you offer seasonal Persian cooking classes?
Danaa's cooking programme may include seasonal Persian dishes and special classes around celebrations such as Nowruz. Check the current cooking schedule to see which sessions are available now.
Do I need any prior cooking experience?
No. Classes are built for complete beginners as well as people who already cook but want to learn a specific cuisine's techniques.
Are the classes private or group sessions?
All cooking classes are live group sessions, so you'll cook alongside other students in real time, guided by your teacher.
What ingredients or equipment do I need?
Ahead of each class, you'll get a shared shopping list for that session's dish, with substitutions suggested for ingredients that are hard to find outside Iran.
Can children take cooking classes?
Yes, with parental supervision recommended depending on the dish and the child's age — especially anything involving stovetop cooking.
In which language are classes taught?
All cooking classes are currently taught in Persian (Farsi). More languages may be added later.
