Join guest chef Anas Atassi, author of the new book “Sumac: Recipes and Stories from Syria,” for a class that will show you three occasions when Syrian food should absolutely make an appearance on your table. In this class we will: • Learn to make muhammara, a fast, flavorful and beautiful dip of roasted red pepper, walnuts and pomegranate molasses. • We’ll think about the weekend as we make musabaha, a brunch dish that is sort of like a deconstructed, hassle-free variation on hummus. • Treat yourself to an afternoon snack inspired by toshka, a beloved Syrian street food. As we cook, Anas will share stories and reflections of Syria’s rich food culture! Date | Sunday, January 30 from 9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. Location | Online Register here!
