Join us for a delicious Ethiopian & Eritrean meal--shiro, a sauce made of chickpea flour, and atkilt alicha, a spiced vegetable medley. We'll enjoy the meal with her fabulous injera, the fermented flatbread common to Ethiopian & Eritrean cuisine. This class will be taught by Mulu Tewelde, who came to Vermont from Eritrea in 2006 and enjoys sharing her knowledge and love of Eritrean and Ethiopian cooking.

This class will be held in the Community Room of the South End City Market. Please do not attend if you are feeling unwell or have been a COVID close contact.

Learn how to build a beautiful tasting board to share with friends and family this season! Whether you are looking to start a new tradition or broaden your culinary skills, this class will be an inspiring place to start. We will work together to prepare the ingredients, talk through arranging the board and then roll up our sleeves and let our creative sides shine. We will use local vegetables, fruits, cheese, meat, spreads, and bread on the board. Please note that while there will be many food options on the board, this is not an allergy-friendly class, as it will include dairy, gluten, nuts, etc. in the same kitchen.
