Mezze from the Middle East: falafel, lamb meatballs, tabbouleh, baklava and more, finishing with mint tea.
In this class we take our taste buds on a journey and get to know a few small dishes from the Middle East. There these dishes are often called "mezze", and several are eaten together with good bread, either before a main course or as a meal on their own. We learn to use the mild, warm spices of the region: cumin, coriander, cinnamon, allspice, saffron, sumac, pomegranate molasses, preserved lemons, mint, orange blossom water and rose, and we tell you where best to find them. We start by showing you how easy it is to make baklava, a delicious pastry always baked for special occasions such as weddings. Then we make a few tasty small dishes, both vegetables and lamb, and lay out a feast where we taste everything we've made, ending the evening with sweets, baklava and apricots with labneh, rose water and pistachios, and mint tea.
The menu is a guide, not a promise: it can change without notice, depending on the ingredients and the chef's judgement.
