Join Nadia Tommalieh on a culinary journey to the bustling markets of the ancient city of Jerusalem, where she’ll show you how to make iconic street foods that have been savored for generations. You’ll learn the rich cultural history behind these beloved recipes as you make freshly baked ka’ak al Quds (Jerusalem Sesame Bread) and qudsiyeh (creamy hummus with fava beans in a zesty citrus sauce). You’ll discover a twist on traditional favorites with falafel mahshi (falafel stuffed with caramelized onions and sumac) paired with tarator sauce; fattet hummus (seasoned chickpea stew with toasted bread and crunchy fried nuts). No Jerusalem street food experience would be complete without a side of traditional salatah Qudsiyeh, a salad of seasonal vegetables and herbs dressed in a jalapeno and tahini dressing.

About the instructor: After cooking in Michelin Star restaurants and high volume catering events, I made a “temporary” switch to teaching cooking classes. However, the satisfaction and unique experience I received from teaching convinced me that this was my new culinary path. I am a graduate of the Le Cordon Bleu, where I mainly focused on French and Western technique, but I have deep roots in Middle-Eastern cuisine and an enthusiastic, developed passion for Japanese cuisine. In my travels I seek out to learn something new, and for me, the more specific and obscure, the better. My interests and abilities continue to range out further, as long as I can do it, I will teach it.
