🥢 Bowl It! - Private Culinary Workshop & Tasting Dinner

Cook together. Taste everything. Meet new people around the table.

📅 Friday, 23 October 2026 🕖 19:15–21:45 📍 Uccle, Brussels 👥 Minimum 12 · Maximum 20 participants 🌍 English

Looking for something different from the usual Friday-night drinks or dinner?

This time, we’re making dinner ourselves. 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

Join Mixer, part of the Sunday Vacations community network, for a private culinary evening in a fully equipped professional cooking studio in Uccle.

Guided by a professional culinary instructor, we'll cook in pairs, prepare four colourful bowls together and then gather around the buffet to taste everything we've created.

No advanced cooking skills needed. And definitely no need to bring someone with you.

This evening is about good food, learning something new and meeting people naturally while doing something together.

🌿 THE EXPERIENCE

We're keeping this experience intentionally small: 12 to 20 participants only.

After a short introduction, we'll divide into pairs at fully equipped cooking stations.

Each duo will work on two of the evening's recipes, while across the kitchen our group collectively prepares all four:

🇹🇭 Thai Bowl 🇬🇷 Greek Bowl 🌱 Buddha Bowl 🍤 Shrimp Poke Bowl

Once we're finished cooking, all four creations come together for a shared tasting buffet.

The dishes are served in mini portions so that everyone can taste all four recipes, with approximately the equivalent of two full bowls per participant.

And after dinner?

No washing up. 😌

The venue team handles the dishes and cleanup, leaving us more time to cook, eat and enjoy the company.
