Shopping list for Middle Eastern

Because grocery shopping is not so easy these days, here is a sneak peek at what you will need in case that is helpful. This is enough food to feed 4 people:

PRODUCE:

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 3 plum tomatoes or medium-sized tomatoes
  • 1 bunch radishes
  • 1 large seedless cucumber or regular
  • 1 pound carrots
  • 1 bunch fresh mint
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 2 lemons
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ cup slivered or sliced almonds (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons sumac*
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 pound firm feta cheese


STAPLES TO HAVE ON HAND:

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup vinegar (apple cider, red or white wine, or rice)
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (can use some whole wheat in there too, for the pita)

A NOTE ABOUT SUMAC: This bright red, lemony spice is not easily procured in every supermarket. BUT it is a spice very worth adding to your spice cabinet for future use, and I would recommend ordering it online if you cannot find it locally. We love: penzeys.com and foodsofnations.com for excellent quality spices.

School Notes:

For NYC In-Person Classes:

You’ll receive a complete recipe packet and enjoy a full sit-down meal at the end of class with your classmates. Our classes are BYOB, and you are welcome to bring a bottle to enjoy at the sit-down meal (not including our baking or dessert classes).

Our classes are hands-on, coupled with demonstration-style teaching. Everyone is situated at their own cutting board/chef’s knife station around a large wooden work table that accommodates the whole class (10 people max). We work together as a group, with the chef at the head of the table.

We focus on knife skills, preparing ingredients for cooking, and we strive to find every opportunity to offer you a hands-on experience at the stove and at your station, all within the spatial parameters of a single stove/family-style kitchen. We ask for volunteers to assist in all cooking.

Refund Policy

For Public Classes:

We have a firm 3 business days cancellation policy (for credit only) to ensure that we have enough time to re-fill your seat with another student.

Please note: Boot Camps require 6 business days notice to be rescheduled.

While it is not in our nature to say no, we are simply not able to accommodate last-minute illnesses or work-related conflicts. However, you are always welcome to send someone in your place, because we understand that these things do happen. Classes are not refundable.

 For Culinary Boot Camps:
 

Because of the volume of Boot Camps we offer, we cannot offer make-up classes to anyone who misses a single class, no matter the reason, as it happens too often and we cannot handle that volume of make-ups.  Once you book your boot camp, make sure to mark (and prioritize) all the dates in your calendar. 

 Because we know how disappointing it is to miss a class, you are always welcome to send a friend in your place (just send us their name ahead of class), and perhaps insist that they cook you dinner as repayment.  

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

 Thank you for understanding!
