OVERVIEW

Learn to prepare traditional Saudi Arabian dishes in a hands-on cooking class and enjoy your concoctions for lunch. A local chef will describe where and how the ingredients were sourced and show you step-by-step how to make each dish. Feel free to ask questions as the class is meant to be an interactive experience. Although the dishes will depend on the season and the availability of the fresh ingredients, one of them will likely be Jareesh, a hearty main course made from a recipe that has been handed down from generation to generation. It consists of cracked wheat, yogurt, chicken or lamb and aromatic spices. Margoog is another stew-like comfort food that may be on the menu. This meat and vegetable dish is typically made with even more spices and bits of handmade dough to soak up the flavors. Fresh-baked bread, salad and traditional Saudi sweets for dessert will round out the meal.
