Salt, Spice & Story - A Deep Dive Into The Levantine Pantry *In-Person* *NEW*

Across Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, the Levantine pantry is more than a collection of spices; it is a living archive of trade routes, migration, terroir, and memory. In this hands-on class, students explore staple Levantine ingredients such as za’atar, sumac, and baharat through a historical and sensory lens. Participants learn how to roast, grind, bloom, and blend spices, while tasting how acidity, bitterness, and aromatics interact in Levantine cooking. Students leave with practical cooking skills, sourcing and storage tips, and a custom spice kit to use at home. Instructor: Hala Shawa
