Cooking Class: Passed-Down Mediterranean Traditions
Explore the flavors of the coast in this immersive cooking class with Chef Washington.
Class begins by blending chickpeas, garlic, tahini and olive oil for a creamy Mediterranean hummus. Next, learn how to bake a flaky tilapia flavored with lemon and garlic made juicy with butter and extra virgin olive oil. Chop bell peppers, carrots and zucchini and slow roast them for a turmeric couscous pilaf to serve as a side. Roast chicken thighs until golden and tender, served with tahini and yogurt for a vibrant roasted chicken shawarma. Finish the meal on a sweet note with pears poached in red wine, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with cinnamon.

This is a very fun and satisfying experience. We shared pleasant discussion while we produced and tried a variety of different tacos with unique ingredients. Chef Washington is very effective in demonstrating and explaining his process and techniques.

This delightful three-course ramen tasting with Chef Washington was such a delicious time (: You won’t leave hungry!! Don’t go in expecting a hands-on cooking class, the fun is in getting to know Chef and folks you’re dining with, and trying the scrumptiousness and adventure of Chef Washington’s ramen recipes. It’s a cute time! We did the experience at Obec brewing, and it was nice to grab a beer and have some ambiance around us.
