In this interactive cooking class, Marianne Tshihamba serves up dishes inspired by her travels. Marianne will demonstrate recipes from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi’s best-selling cookbook, ‘Jerusalem: A Cookbook’, including lamb-stuffed quince with pomegranate and cilantro. Join us to experience tastes from the book that opened a “door to a new realm of flavor.”

“The first symptoms of ‘Jerusalem’ fever appeared on New Year’s Eve: a friend rushed over at a party, breathless, her eyes bright. ‘We have to do an all-Jerusalem dinner!’ she panted…..Most cookbooks disappear without a trace. And as many home cooks can attest, even the copies that are sold tend to languish on the shelf. Not this one” – Julia Moskin for the New York Times
