Israeli bakeries are celebrated for their unique blend of European Jewish baking traditions and Middle Eastern flavors. In this hands-on class, you will learn to prepare some of the most beloved desserts commonly found in cafes and bakeries across Israel, while also learning about the ingredients, stories, and cultural influences behind each recipe. The menu will include Chocolate Babka, Tahini Cookies, Ma’amoul (date-filled cookies), and Knafeh. Come ready for a hands-on experience (except for one dish that will be demonstrated) and leave with new skills and a box full of sweets to enjoy at home. Limited to 12.
