Cooking Class: Persian Nowruz

For more than 3,000 years, Nowruz has held great significance for those of Persian origin. The holiday guides their worldview by giving hope, reinforcing respect for traditions and our elders, celebrating nature and new beginnings, and bringing people together to honor the past and look to the future.

Join Omid Roustaei for this special Persian New Year celebration class where he will set up Haft-seen, a traditional spread, and prepare with students some of the traditional dishes that symbolize rebirth and health and are a must-have to bring good fortune for the new year. Menu will include: kuku sabzi (fresh herb and leek frittata), reshteh polo ba maheecheh (rice with noodles and dates with saffron lamb), and naan nokhodchi (cardamom chickpea cookies).

Class is limited to 11 students and is hands-on. Includes dinner.

Masking is optional. Please note that event registration is non-refundable.
