Join Özlem Warren on a culinary journey to Turkey to learn how food is used to celebrate spring and Easter. Together with Özlem, author of “Özlem’s Turkish Table,” you will make the ever popular zucchini fritters with cheese, herbs and onion (kabak mucveri), served with garlicky yogurt, and a zesty semolina sponge cake in light syrup (revani). This cake is perfect for Easter, the day after class, or to make any day special.

During the class, Özlem will also offer ideas for substitutions, tips for cooking ahead and freezing, and stories from her homeland. Turkish cuisine is healthy, delicious and easy to make. Please join Özlem to recreate her Turkish feast! You can see the full recipes we'll be making together here.
