Middle East Feast

Preserved lemons are the jewels of our pantry. A staple in the Arab Mediterranean, these salt-cured fruits pack a piquant but savory flavor that adds instant complexity and a salty bite to sauces, stews and other savory and sweet eats.

When it comes to big flavors and healthy eating, middle eastern street food is king. Fresh vegetables, tasty sauces, and unique preparations are all reasons folks from that region of the world opt for vendors in pushcarts and bedroom sized restaurants that are standing-room-only

Although it contains vast areas of arid landscape, the Middle East is a fertile spot on the culinary map. Over the years, various empires have ruled the region's countries, leaving their imprint on the colorful, aromatic and diverse flavors.

Join us for a tour of Middle Eastern flavors, celebrating the traditional and contemporary cuisines across the middle east and Mediterranean. Skewer, roll out, knead, toss, and bake your way through a Middle Eastern dinner with your Way Cool Chef leading the way.
