Since Damira can’t physically welcome you into her home, she wants to do so virtually!
Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together!
In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Damira will guide you through making three of her family recipes. During your class, you'll prepare Damira's bichak (handmade flaky pastry dough stuffed with sauteed baby spinach, onion, and herbs). Then, you'll learn how to make salat bahor (a fresh, crunchy salad of shredded cabbage, cucumbers, dill, and garlic) and bodiring salat (a bright salad of diced cucumbers and diced boiled potatoes mixed with garlic, oil, and fresh dill).
