Lebanese Cooking Online with Jeanette (Fall)

In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Jeanette will guide you through making two of her family recipes. During your class, you'll prepare Jeanette's maldoum (eggplant and vegetable casserole with seasoned and braised ground beef) and roz bil shaghrieh (Turkish rice cooked with pan-fried, golden vermicelli).

Since Jeanette can’t physically welcome you into her home, she wants to do so virtually!

Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together!
