Join hands-on sessions where a professional chef will guide you through a fun and flavour-packed recipe. Then comes the exciting part - the lead chef will inspect every dish and crown one lucky winner at each session! And of course, everyone gets to dig into their delicious creations afterwards.

Access to the Taste Cook School is included with all Taste tickets. Spaces are limited and fill up fast, so be sure to register on-site to secure your spot!

Each session will open for registration 2 hours prior to start time.

TOP TIP: Win a Staycation at Grand Hyatt Abu Dhabi!
