RECIPES WE CARRY: A LEBANESE COOKING WORKSHOP

Some of the strongest threads between generations are woven around a table - through food, stories, and the simple act of making something together. We’re inviting you to do just that. Come gather around the communal table for a hands-on afternoon of Lebanese cooking, storytelling and connection with mother-daughter duo Siham & Justine from Dayaa School & Kitchen, in collaboration with Good Flock. Together, we’ll make Warak Enab from scratch, following a cherished village recipe. We’ll prepare tender grape vine leaves, make a fragrant rice filling with tomato, parsley and homemade seven spice, then roll each one by hand. As we cook, Siham and Justine will share their knowledge, tips and stories - stories of family, food, culture and home, and the traditions they carry from one generation to the next. A reminder that recipes are love letters to our ancestors. They hold the hands that taught us, the people and stories behind them, the memories of where we come from, and the many meals shared before us. We’ll finish seated around the table for lunch, conversation and a little reflection: What do we carry with us? What can we learn from those who came before? And what might we pass on? No cooking experience is needed. Whether you’re new to Lebanese cooking or already love to cook, come hungry and curious. You’ll leave with new skills, a full belly, a warmed heart, and your own Warak Enab to take home and share. A traditional Warak Enab stone will also be available to purchase, so you can keep rolling at home. We can’t wait to gather, cook and share stories with you.
