Join us for a deep dive into a spice called mahleb, an essential spice in Armenian and Middle Eastern baking, whose aromatic kernels come from the St. Lucie cherry. This class will be led by author and recipe developer Andrew Janjigian, of the IACP-award nominated bread baking newsletter Wordloaf. Andrew will teach recipes for mahleb butternut squash buns; Syrian cookies with mahleb, pistachio, and sesame seeds; grape molasses pudding; and sour cherry jam-mahleb thumbprint cookies.
This is a demonstration-style class, with the opportunity to taste the different recipes Andrew covers in the class. You'll head home with a fresh take on baked goods, armed with a jar of mahleb, the recipes, and some new tricks to test out on your friends and family!
Class price: $85 per person
Date/Time: May 11th, 5:30 - 7pm
Age:12 and up!
