What You’ll Do

Bring the best bites from Middle Eastern cuisine to your home table in this exciting in-person cooking class from Chef David. With his guidance, you'll learn time-honored techniques for creating authentic regional recipes your family will devour. 


Prepare traditional hummus to enjoy with crisp pita chips and assemble a refreshing Jerusalem salad filled with cool cucumber, tangy tomatoes and zesty red onions. Then, cook kofta, a hearty entree featuring lamb and beef served with homemade tzatziki. Try out a tabouli side dish flavored with fresh parsley, and for dessert, bake an indulgent Egyptian basbousa cake flavored with coconut and lemon.
