ABOUT
In this series, participants will be invited on a hands-on culinary journey through the Arab world, discovering the history, culture, and science behind some of the Arab world's most essential dishes and seizing the opportunity to produce them with your own hands. From essential baking and hospitality in the Levant, to traditional Palestinian dishes, from the sweet and savory flavors of Morocco, to festive holiday treats, this class series will provide participants with the tools and skills to make these delicious foods from scratch right at home!
In this final holiday baking class, participants will learn to make ma'amoul, beautiful semolina flour cookies filled with crushed nuts or dates. Ma'amoul are traditional treats for the holidays and can be served at holiday parties or given as gifts.
