What You’ll Do

Taste the fresh flavors and spices of Persian cuisine in this cooking class led by Chef Karen. You'll learn how masterfully use aromatic spices to create Persian dishes with simple ingredients like fresh fruits, vegetables and grains. 


To start, Chef Karen will show you how to craft mirza ghassemi, an eggplant dip flavored with a wonderfully aromatic balance of spices. Enjoy a main course of traditional Persian chicken stew bursting with sweet figs and apricots, then learn how to make herby kuku with a crispy golden crust. An upside-down orange turmeric cake makes for a unique, citrusy dessert to end the meal. This class will provide you with more than just restaurant-worthy recipes — expect to master plenty of valuable culinary skills as well!
