About This Program
Each month a new culinary theme will be covered in one class per week (approx 2 hours each). All current classes are virtual, unless otherwise stated.
Most in-person classes will culminate in a sit-down meal with participants. All ingredients and utensils will be provided to attendees. Participants may be required to purchase a book/cookbook for any particular course, for an additional fee.
After the successful completion of each theme, participants will receive a My Halal Kitchen certificate of completion for that theme. *Some details subject to change at the discretion of the course instructor.
Upon completion of all culinary themes (one year), participants will receive a My Halal Kitchen Halal Culinary School diploma.
To book a course, please visit the links in the column to the right. Should you like to participate in just one class, please contact me, as I typically require participants to join all courses in each theme.
