Are you intimidated by the idea of making your own Ethiopian food? This class will demystify the spices used in Ethiopian cuisine as we blend our own Berbere from scratch. You’ll use your freshly made spice blend as well as my own triple aromatic purée in vegetarian dishes. You’ll also understand how Injera, a fermented flatbread is made, and practice steaming up your own. We guarantee you’ll be eating a flavorful healthy meal by the time we’re through.
This is a 2-part class. We meet on Thursday, January 30th for 1 hour and Saturday, February 1st for 2 hours.
