In another edition of FARAH’s Sweet & Savory Flavors of Arab Cuisine series at MPL, discover the aromatic spices of Arab cuisine. Join Lilianne Gooch for a guided cooking demonstration on how to make two classic dishes with an emphasis on spices: one sweet and one savory. 
 
Fattoush: The Vibrant Taste of the Levant
The perfect chopped salad, Fattoush is a refreshing, crunchy, and colorful staple in Arab cuisine featuring watercress or romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, radishes, and fresh herbs, all tossed in a tangy signature lemon-sumac-pomegranate molasses vinaigrette. Added crunch and flavor comes from crispy toasted pita chips topped with za’atar. Join us to learn about the unique spices that make up this flavorful Arab salad.  
 
Jallab: The Essence of Arab Hospitality
Transport your senses to the Levant with this traditional and refreshing drink. Learn how to mix date, grape and carob molasses with rose water into a fragrant non-alcoholic drink. Perfect for warm days, it is traditionally served chilled and topped with pine nuts and raisins. This is the quintessential Arab mocktail.
