Join us for a flavorful and engaging demonstration-style class centered around Egypt’s beloved national dish: Koshary. In this immersive experience, we’ll explore the rich history of this iconic dish and its role in Egyptian culture, from its humble origins to its status as a national favorite. You’ll watch as we walk through the key techniques and components that make Koshary so unique—perfectly cooked lentils and rice, tender pasta, crispy onions, and a bold, tangy tomato sauce layered with warming spices. Along the way, we’ll share tips, stories, and cultural insights that bring the dish to life beyond the plate. While this is not a hands-on class, you won’t leave hungry, guests will enjoy a tasting of Koshary prepared ahead of time and during the demonstration. Come ready to learn, taste, and experience a vibrant piece of Egyptian culinary tradition.
