Persian Cooking Online with Mab (Summer)

In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Mab will guide you through making two of her family recipes. During your class, you'll prepare Mab's kuku sabzi (a beautiful frittata featuring lots of fresh herbs, spinach, leeks, and scallions that are mixed with egg, walnuts, and barberries) and mast-o-khiyar (yogurt sauce flavored with cucumber, mint, ground almonds, and dried rose petals).

Since Mab 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!
