Indigenous Somali regional cuisines woven with lasting Italian, South Asian, and Middle Eastern influences have resulted in a cuisine that is dynamic and unique. Join local chef Ifrah F. Ahmed in class, where she will teach you about the food of Somalia and how to make some of her favorite classic dishes. On the menu: xawaash-spiced lamb (braised lamb shanks with xawaash spice and cilantro garlic sauce); muufo (corn flatbread); fuul (mashed fava bean and tomato stew); and bariis (Somali-style rice).

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.

Mask Off Maersk Teach-In
2024-09-14 16:00 - 18:00 | Cafe Red, 7148 Martin Luther King Jr Way S, Seattle, WA, 98118
What: Join us in the next phase in our fight to end this genocide and enact a people’s arms embargo! Logistics companies, with Maersk as the industry lead, are the invisible profiteers of the current genocide in Gaza… Behind the horrific images and videos we have seen daily for almost ten months are corporations like Maersk who enable genocide to happen. Behind the grotesque statements of demonic politicians justifying ethnic cleansing are the companies like Maersk who profit from it. It is time to pull the #MaskOffMaersk and show the world who they really are! More info @palestinianyouthmovement
