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.

Movie: Foragers
2024-04-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Olympia Capitol Theater, 206 5th Avenue SE, Olympia, WA, 98501, United States
The Olympia Film Society
presents “Foragers” by
Palestinian artist & filmmaker, Jumana Manna
Capitol Theater in Olympia
Thursday, April 11th, 7 p.m.
The event marks Rachel Corrie’s 45th birthday (on April 10th), with proceeds benefitting Palestinian children in Gaza.
The Olympia Film Society, in conjunction with the Rachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice, will screen the documentary film Foragers, Thursday, April 11th, at the Capitol Theater, 206 5th Ave SE, in Olympia. Doors open at 6 p.m, and the film will screen at 7 p.m.
With “wry humor and a meditative pace,” the film depicts the dramas around the Palestinian custom of foraging for wild edible plants, and the impact of Israeli nature protection laws on these customs. The film’s director, Jumana Manna, is a Palestinian visual artist and filmmaker whose “work explores how power is articulated, focusing on the body, land and materiality in relation to colonial inheritances and histories of place.”
The 64-minute documentary will be followed by a post-film presentation and Q&A with Savvina Chowdhury, Political Economy and Environmental Justice Professor at The Evergreen State College, and by Peter Bohmer, representing the recently formed Palestine Action of South Sound (PASS).
The film event will mark and celebrate the 45th birthday of local activist Rachel Corrie, killed by the Israeli military in 2003 as she stood to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home in Gaza. Rachel’s mother, Cindy Corrie, will introduce the documentary. Proceeds from the film screening will benefit Palestinian children in Gaza.
Olympita, the Palestinian owned food truck, will have a pop up, serving Za’atar pie and other delicious food!
Tickets are available online now and at the box office 60 minutes before showtime.
$13 General Admission & $10 for OFS members
All Proceeds Benefit Palestinian Children in Gaza.

Movie: Foragers
2024-04-10 16:30 - 18:00 | The Beacon, 4405 Rainier Ave S, Seattle, WA, 98118, United States
In her cinematic investigation into the Palestinian practice of foraging za’atar (a thyme-like herb) and ’akkoub (a wild artichoke-like plant), artist Jumana Manna reveals the perils involved in the preservation of Arab traditions under Israeli law. Her inventive blend of fiction, documentary and archival footage in FORAGERS coalesces into a warm portrait of a community whose daily activities resist continued repression.
Beginning with archival footage from a ‘70s Israeli TV program in which the popularity of za’atar among Arabs is being discussed, the film shows an Israeli businessman boasting about his decision to start planting and selling za’atar, transforming the herb from a public good typically foraged by Palestinians into an agricultural commodity that profits Israelis. (It is no coincidence the footage is from the same decade that saw a public ban on the collection of za’atar in Israel.) Manna’s film is clear about how business and politics are embroiled in the continued erasure of Palestinian culture to such effect that the “very simple act of going out and collecting wild weeds becomes about a much wider politics of land control and sovereignty.”
