Palestinian Classics: Maqlouba and Knafeh: Cooking Class

Join Nadia Tommalieh as she dives into the most famous classical Palestinain family-style dishes and the memories, stories, and traditions behind them. You will learn the art of layering and flipping the perfect maqlouba , a world-renowned showstopper of upside-down chicken with roasted eggplant, cauliflower, rice, and fried nuts). You’ll enjoy it with salatet khodar w t’heeniyeh (tomato, herb, and tahini salad); qalayet bandora (spicy tomato, garlic and herb stir fry); and finish the meal with freshly made knafeh nabulsiya (shredded fine angel hair dough stuffed with sweet cheese and sweetened with orange water syrup and topped with crushed pistachio.
