Virtual Vacation: Trip to the Middle East: Choose Your Level of Instruction

Join us for a virtual cooking class as you either cook along with our Chopping Block Chef in real time, or watch as a demonstration as our chef teaches you how to make a Middle Eastern feast via Zoom.

Menu:

• Garlic Hummus with Pita Chips
• Shawarma-Style Chicken with Tzatziki Sauce
• Saffron Rice with Fresh Herbs

Skills covered in class:

• Getting familiar with Middle Eastern ingredients
• Preparing bean dips
• Balancing flavors
• Making pita chips
• Working with fresh herbs and spices
• Marinating
• Selecting chicken
• Grilling or broiling chicken
• Determining chicken doneness
• Steaming rice

Our virtual classes will have you and your chef instructor cooking together in real time, or if preferred, enjoy the class as an engaging demonstration with the flexibility to prepare the dishes at another time. Either way, you will gain a full understanding of the techniques. Upon registration, chose which option is best for you. 

Upon signup you will receive the recipe packet complete with a very detailed equipment list and class syllabi that outlines the flow of the class. If you will be cooking along, we ask that all ingredients are procured and measured ahead of time to help the flow of the class.

Whether cooking along or watching as a demonstration, our Zoom moderator will make sure all of your questions are answered live by the chef either during or after class.
