Cooking at Alemany Farm: A Lebanese Experience
Sunday, September 27, 10:30 am – 1 pm
Instructor: Tamara Kahhale
Suggested Donation: $55 per person (includes materials and ingredients); no one will be turned away for lack of funds
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 and vegetarian (vegan options available).
Please bring your own knife and cutting board.
Please note: Kids 15 years or older are welcome
