PCC Cooking Class: Palestinian Levantine Table
2024-02-11 16:00 - 18:00 | PCC- Burien, 15840 1st Ave S, Burien, WA, 98148, United States
Bring the foods of Palestine, Lebanon and Syria together learning to make Chef Hend’s deep-rooted family recipes. Make handmade Taboon, a yeasted flatbread that is essential for the table. Build the spice combination to make Musakhan, a flavorful chicken dish made to serve atop your taboon. For a bite of sweetness, learn to make Atayef, pillowy stuffed pancakes that are a delight to celebrate. This class is brimming with unique recipes and essential Middle Eastern ingredients to bring to your kitchen.
With dairy, nuts, and poultry.
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.

SEATTLE- EMERGENCY ACTION TOMORROW: Tonight, the Israeli military’s genocidal assault targeted Rafah, the city that holds more than 1.4 million Palestinians, the majority of whom were displaced from elsewhere in Gaza.

Israel is threatening a ground invasion in Rafah. We call on our community to take the streets to defend Rafah, Gaza, and all of Palestine. We assert that Rafah is a red line, and must mobilize to demand an end to this genocidal assault. HANDS OFF RAFAH NOW! 📍University of Washington Station 🗓️ Mon Feb 12 ⏱️ 6:00 PM

Rise Up for Rafah
2024-02-17 12:00 - 14:00 | Westlake Center, 400 Pine Street, Seattle, WA, 98033, United States
🚨EMERGENCY ACTION 🚨RISE UP FOR RAFAH! Join us on Saturday, February 17 at 12 pm at Westlake Center to rise up for Rafah. On Sunday night, the genocidal Israeli state began a brutal assault on Rafah, the southernmost part of Gaza. In the last 24 hours, 112 Palestinians were martyred and 173 others were injured. Over the past few months, people from all over Gaza have been displaced to Rafah. Gazans now have nowhere left to go.
Meanwhile, in our own backyard Boeing is directly supplying the genocide in Gaza. Boeing has supplied Israel with 1000 smart bombs and 1800 GPS-guidance bomb kits, in addition to regular shipments of Apache helicopters, F-15 fighter jets, and Hellfire missiles. These weapons have led to the complete demolition of schools, residential buildings, and the targeting of civilians, contributing to over 27,000 deaths over the last 3 months.
It is our responsibility to resist this occupation and genocide. Since we are complicit in it, we must refuse to be complacent.
Join us in taking to the streets to show our unwavering support and solidarity for the people of Rafah, Gaza, and all of Palestine. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
HANDS OFF RAFAH!
END THE OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE NOW!
BOEING – STOP PROFITEERING OFF OF WAR AND GENOCIDE!
