The Palomar: An exclusive Masterclass with head chef Tomer Amedi

Join head chef Tomer Amedi at award-winning London restaurant The Palomar for a unique opportunity to watch Amedi at work, learn the secrets of Jerusalem cooking and sample some of his signature dishes

The Palomar has become one of London’s hottest restaurants since it opened in 2014 and was crowned the Observer Food Monthly’s best restaurant last year. Aside from the food - a brilliant, unselfconscious tangle of Mediterranean flavours and influences according to Jay Rayner - much of the restaurant’s success lies in its vibrant atmosphere, particularly the vibe around the long counter up front.

The restaurant is always fully booked and takes reservations two months in advance, but our Masterclass offers you the amazing opportunity to join head chef Tomer Amedi in his open kitchen to watch him at work and enjoy his wonderful dishes.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of his cuisine, from how to prepare raw fish, how to cook and clean offal and how to prepare your own spice mix. Amedi will demonstrate how to cook several dishes from The Palomar Cookbook, and will inspire you to use these recipes to enrich your home cooking. You’ll also have the chance to participate and help Amedi during the demonstration and then sit together to sample the dishes.
