Cooking From the Farm: A Lebanese Experience
Sunday September 27th, 10:30 AM - 1 PM
at Alemany Farm
Instructor: Tamara Kahhale
Come to Alemany Farm for a full cooking workshop! Learn more about the importance (and fun!) of eating seasonally, how to harvest seasonal crops, and work through some basic cooking instructions (knife skills, anyone?). Together, we’ will cook a few dishes in our outdoor kitchen and enjoy them in lovely early fall. The menu will be Lebanese inspired, vegetarian (vegan options available) and please bring your own knife and cutting board.
Please note: kids 15 years or older are welcome
