About this Event
With end of winter in sight, it’s easy to dream of the sun-drenched flavors of the Mediterranean - fresh vegetables, fruity olive oil, and lots of bright citrus combined to add a real zing to food. Join chef Miriam Rubin as she explores the tastes of the Mediterranean. First, it’s all hands-on as we shape rice, currant and pine nut-filled grape leaves. While they simmer, Miriam will demo an earthy almond cake with an orange and honey syrup. She’ll also create a chopped salad with tahini dressing, then lunch will be served!
Menu to include:
- Rice, Currant and Pine Nut Stuffed Grape Leaves
- Chopped Salad with Tahini Dressing
- Orange and Almond Cake
This part hands-on, part deomnstration class (plus lunch!) is limited to ten people.
