About
Join Chef Omid for a cozy, fall-inspired class that celebrates the season’s bounty combined with the rich, comforting flavors of Persian cuisine. Together we'll explore the techniques behind preparing a traditional stew and dive into the art of a complex rice preparation. We'll balance the meal with a crisp and refreshing salad. To finish, we'll create a creamy, fragrant saffron rice pudding that is as beautiful as it is comforting.
