COOKING CLASSES

Why not try something new with your friends by hosting a cooking class in your own home. This is a great way to celebrate all occasions like wedding showers, work socials,

Birthdays and the list goes on.

Lebanese cuisine is easy to prepare, once you’ve learned the basics you will surely cook it all the time.

The basic ingredients for Lebanese cuisine are garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, many dishes can be made from just these three key ingredients.

Learn to cook with fresh vegetables like eggplant, green beans, zucchini or lentils and rice dishes.

Many dishes are seasonal like stuffed zucchini which are harvested in August and September and in the winter months we enjoy the warmth of yogurt soups while the summer months brings lovely fresh salads made from cold yogurt, or lettuce, parsley and mint and lets not forget the BBQ.

I will bring everything needed to set up a cooking class in your home for you and your friends, and yes clean up is included! Not only will you learn healthy new dishes, you will also get to sample everything we cook.

GREAT FOOD and GREAT FUN!

ABOUT THE COOK

"I have had the good fortune of being raised by an amazing woman who could cook anyone under the table! {no kidding }.

Growing up with a mom like that meant there was always food in the kitchen and ALWAYS made from scratch. My mother made homemade yogurt and bulgar wheat from scratch because there was no where to buy these staples needed for some of the traditional dishes that she lovingly makes, still today.

My love for cooking comes from my mother who is my mentor and teacher. I especially enjoy cooking Lebanese food and really believe that it is the best food to eat and I can assure you that I have been trained to cook Lebanese food by the very best.

The bounty of the Okanagan harvest has been inspiring and exciting for me and I would love to share with you the joy of cooking or eating Lebanese style.

“ Sahtayn! “ To your good health many times! "
