Silent Vigil.
The future is dark. Is this darkness of the tomb – or of the womb? It is both. In all the death and destruction around us, I believe we must find the audacity to lift our gaze and witness the emergence of the new – millions waking to our shared humanity, coming together to grieve and imagine otherwise. In us, I see glimpses of the world waiting to be born. I choose to labor for that world, with you. Let’s last.
Tonight we breathe, tomorrow we push.

Makrouta – Swirled Date Cookies
Besbousa – Sweet Soaked Semolina Cake
Halawa Truffles – Chocolate Dipped Tahini Truffles

DESCRIPTION
Celebrate the culture of the Middle East during this festive time of year learning to make Middle Eastern desserts. Bake buttery, date cookies and learn how to swirl dough and make the filling. Make simple syrup and discover the role it plays in Besbousa – a sweet-soaked semolina cake. And Chef Hend will demonstrate how to craft tahini into halva, a staple confection, that we’ll transform into a truffle dipped in chocolate.
Vegetarian; contains dairy and nuts,
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.
