About the Workshop

Join us for a journey that transcends the kitchen, bringing the heart and soul of Persian cuisine to life.

Immerse yourself in a hands-on exploration of Persian culinary traditions, where Monelli will generously share tips and tricks to bring these delightful flavours to your own kitchen. Picture the cozy setting as you prepare and savour an authentic, warm Persian dish together. Indulge in the aromatic embrace of "chai," Persian tea, and listen to captivating stories from Monelli—an Iranian-born artist with a Western upbringing.

This unique experience goes beyond a typical cooking class; it's a cultural exchange woven into the fabric of a sit-down lunch. As you embark on this culinary journey, remember to bring your apron—the symbol of your active participation. You'll have the privilege of enjoying the meal you've crafted under the guidance of an authentic Iranian Chef. 

About the Instructor

Monelli, an Iranian-born artist, delicately weaves the vibrant tapestry of her cultural roots into the Canadian mosaic. Arriving in Canada at the age of 7, she integrates her deep connection with Iranian traditions into the fabric of her Western upbringing. Passionate about Persian music, dance, and culture, Monelli has become a beacon for cultural exchange on the Island, gracing stages at events such as DiverseCity Multicultural Festivals, River Clyde Pageant, the recent 2023 Canada Games Illumination Festival, and more. Music teacher and ArtsSmarts Project coordinator, Karri Shea, reflects on Monelli's impact, stating, 'Monelli's excitement for dancing is contagious and brings joy to all that see her perform.'

Outside the realm of dance, Monelli finds solace in spending time with her two children, cooking nourishing meals, indulging in ocean dips (even in the colder months!), gardening, and embracing the tranquility of the woods. Her holistic lifestyle, deeply rooted in traditional healing and wellness modalities, involves Kundalini Yoga and martial arts.

Don't hesitate to say Salām (the Persian greeting) if you spot Monelli around!
