Syrian Vegan Friendly Cooking Experience with Bahaa

"The closer I get to cooking the meals I tasted at home, the more I feel like me" - BahaaRoll up your sleeves - it’s time to get messy! Join Bahaa from Syria for an authentic, immersive cooking experience, as he takes you on a journey through his recipes, traditions and stories as you cook a beautiful feast together. And when the cooking is done, all that is left to do is enjoy the wholesome feast.As a kid, Bahaa spent hours as his mother’s unofficial sous chef, and would play the role of ‘taste consultant’ whenever required. It was from his mother that Bahaa learned the recipes, techniques and patience required to cook with love. Bahaa’s mother left Syria for Dubai when he was in his 20s, but not before cramming a freezer full of his favourite home-cooked meals. “It was her way of taking care of me, ” he says. Once those meals were finished, Bahaa began cooking for himself – messaging his mother overseas for tips and advice.His menu is an invitation into these memories and flavours, an invitation to see Syria in a different light. There’s crunchy Fattoush, a sweet-and-sour salad soaked in copious amounts of pomegranate molasses. Bahaa's Ful (pronounced “fool”) is a fava bean-based dish eaten in Aleppo only on Fridays that's generously drenched in tahini, lemon juice and garlic. Then there’s his favourite, Mnazalt al zahra, a decadent lamb stew passed on from Bahaa’s mother, brimming with ‘heavenly descended cauliflower’ that tastes so good it’ll make you fall in love with the vegetable all over again!WHAT YOU'LL BE COOKING!**This menu is Vegan Friendly
