In the world of Middle Eastern cooking, Syria is said to contain some of the best food in the Arab world. Strategically located along the ancient Silk Route (connecting Asia to Europe), Syria has had easy access to such delicacies from India and China as tamarind, pepper, and rice for thousands of years. Join Jennifer Abadi, Middle Eastern food expert and author of "A Fistful of Lentils: Syrian-Jewish Recipes from Grandma Fritzie’s Kitchen," to learn how to prepare some of the typical recipes from her family’s native Aleppo, Syria. You’ll make and enjoy: fattoush salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, pita chips and za’atar-mint dressing; leek cheese pie with dill and cucumber-mint-yogurt dressing; peas with mushrooms and allspice; sweet and tart okra with tomatoes, prunes and tamarind; long-grain brown rice with fried onions and pine nuts; and filo "fingers" with creamy rosewater pudding and cinnamon. The class includes a copy of the book "A Fistful of Lentils," written by your chef-instructor, Jennifer Abadi.
