This class is a celebration of the magic of mezze and a chance to learn how to make a few mainstays of Lebanese mezze. Growing up in a half-Lebanese household meant every family gathering began with mezze and Giselle is thrilled to teach you how to make her versions of some of her family favorites. Giselle prioritizes fresh and in-season ingredients in her cooking and teaching and is deeply enthusiastic about conversations around food culture and history.

Each Mezze class will include a dip, a vegetable/salad, and a heartier bite.

April Menu: hummus + beet pickled turnips + kefte (this is a meat dish!)

Welcome to the Ark of Taste Garden Party! Join me for a delightful afternoon in Bingen. Grab a copy of the book in the store or bring yours — I’d love to draw my name in it — along with your garden curiosities and questions. Sip on a biodiversity-inspired beverage and peruse a tiny collection of heirloom seeds and veggies starts (available for you to take home). From heirloom vegetable seeds to rare fruit storytelling, this event is a chance to dig into what your garden can be this year. Come mingle with fellow food enthusiasts and experience a slice of Slow Food.
