Mezze Master Class with Chef Camila Olarte at Cleo
Cleo, the newly reopened Eastern Mediterranean restaurant at the iconic Balfour in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth enclave (https://www.miabites.com/home/preserving-art-deco-cleo-restaurant-on-ocean-drive?rq=cleo) , invites food lovers to embark on a culinary journey through Old World cooking with the Cleo Mezze Masterclass Series. Led by award-winning Executive Chef Camila Olarte, this intimate workshop debuts on August 30 from 5-7 p.m. and at $40 pp offers guests a chance to explore the art of mezze in a relaxed, social setting that celebrates the rich, diverse flavors from the Levant and beyond.
Held in Cleo’s semiprivate dining room on select Saturdays through October, each two-hour session includes instruction and guidance in preparing three seasonal mezze dishes, such as velvety hummus, spicy lamb cigars, juicy kabob skewers, smoky eggplant dips and other regional favorites. Guests will receive a welcome cocktail at the start of the experience, followed by a hands-on cooking session with all tools and ingredients provided. Each guest will also enjoy a complimentary drink of their choice—wine, cocktail or mocktail—as well as a shared meal of the dishes prepared during the class, served with fresh-baked pita and sides. Chef tips and recipes will be provided for guests to take home.
The experience is beginner-friendly and ideal for date nights, group outings, or anyone who loves mezze as much as they love making it. Classes are limited to 12 guests per session, and reservations are required.
