Learn simple techniques to prepare ethnic food that is rich in flavor. Ethiopian/Eritrean cooking relies on a diverse range of herbs and roots to develop characteristics quintessential to the cuisine. In this hands-on class, we will be making three dishes (one is a meat dish) that will be served with Injera, the spongy sourdough flatbread unique to both countries. At the end of the class, you can either stay and share your meal here or take it to-go. Please note: masks will be optional during class.
