FARM-TO-KITCHEN COOKING CLASS: MEDITERRANEAN MEZZE & TAPAS_PRESENTED
BY THE TRUSTEES_
Both western and eastern mediterranean cultures have their own
versions of small savory plates, called mezze in Turkey and Lebanon to
the east, and tapas in Spain to the west. Join us in The KITCHEN at
The Boston Public Market for a seasonal & local twist on the
traditional flavors of mezze and tapas at our Farm-to-KITCHEN hands-on
cooking class!
Lieza Dagher, Director of The KITCHEN, will lead this cooking class
emphasizing traditional recipes and flavors that have been passed down
from generations of her family. Lieza's recipes will awaken your
senses and introduce you to new options for flavorful meals at
home. The majority of ingredients for the class will be straight from
The Boston Public Market, proving you can buy local, eat local and
still achieve international flavors.
Each course will be paired with a TASTING OF LOCAL WINES from The
Massachusetts Wine Shop.

Our hands-on COOKING CLASSES ARE STRUCTURED AS A GROUP LEARNING
EXPERIENCE; you’ll work with other students to create a seasonal
meal led by our professional chef instructors. We focus on learning
new COOKING STYLES AND TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE YOUR CONFIDENCE AND
ENJOYMENT IN YOUR OWN KITCHEN. Here are a few things to know before
booking a CLASS WITH US:
* Each class is centered on the local, seasonal farmers and artisans
of the Boston Public Market, so menus may change slightly based on
what’s available the day of the event.
* During each class, you’ll learn 2 or 3 recipes, you’ll work
with between 2 and 4 other students to create each one, and you’ll
enjoy a plentiful taste of each.
* Classes are usually between 2 and 2.5 hours long, unless otherwise
noted.
* Please be prepared to be on your feet, standing at a table, and
cooking for the duration of class.
* We recommend comfortable, non-slip, and closed-toe shoes.
