Omani Cookery Class with Hani | London Training Class

Our talented new cohort of Migrateful chefs are wrapping up their initial training and getting ready to hold their first cookery classes to the public.

This training class will be led by Chef Hani from Oman at the Migrateful Cookery School in Clerkenwell, London.

Please note, during these training classes, we will be testing the dishes, and how the class runs. Think of it like a technical rehearsal at the theatre. This means it may run for longer than a normal class and involve some stop/starting. Our Chef Development team will also be present to guide and observe, along with volunteers who will help support the chef, and we will ask for your feedback at the end of the class.

A sample menu of the dishes that will be taught includes:

• Oat and Chicken Soup | Meat (Chicken); Celery, Gluten, Milk
• Omani Samosa | Meat (Beef) and Vegetarian; Milk, Gluten
• Vegetable Saloona (Omani Vegetable Stew) | Vegetarian; Celery, Milk
• Makbous (Omani Rice Dish) | Vegetarian; Celery, Milk
• Tuna Salad | Fish (Tuna); Fish
• Omani Khabeesa (Omani Dessert) | Vegetarian; Milk, Gluten, Tree Nuts

This menu contains meat (chicken and beef) and fish. Kindly note that we will not be substituting any ingredients to accommodate dietary needs, so please only book into classes that suit your dietary requirements. Please be aware that while all allergens listed above have been identified as being in this menu, traces of all 14 allergens will be present in this training class.

Please see our Food and Allergen Policy when booking into the class for more information.

Throughout the class, Chef Hani will share stories about his food and culture. You’ll work together with other participants to prepare each of the dishes, before sitting down to share a meal together.

A message from our Chef Hani:

“My name is Hani, and I come from the Sultanate of Oman — a beautiful Gulf country with a rich history, deep-rooted traditions, and a vibrant culinary culture. My mum taught me to cook - she is Egyptian and I really love Egyptian food. My dad was from Oman, and I think this has helped me create my own type of cuisine - a mix of Egyptian and Omani food. My dad also loved to cook, so I had two very good teachers. I improved my cooking skills through observing and working with chefs in my restaurant business. Now I'm in the UK, I’m starting a new chapter and bringing with me the flavours of Oman. I hope to open my own restaurant business in London one day. Omani cuisine blends Asian influences with aromatic spices and herbs that bring warmth and depth to every dish, like one of our dishes today, ‘Makboos’. I hope to share not only delicious food, but also the soul of Omani hospitality. It is my honour to serve as a culinary ambassador for my homeland — to connect people, cultures, and communities, one dish at a time.”
