Passover Greek Spanikopita Demo
Jennifer Abadi, author of the cookbooks Too Good to Passover and A Fistful of Lentils: Syrian-Jewish Recipes from Grandma Fritzie’s Kitchen, along with AJ’s L’olam Committee, will be hosting a lunch at Adath Jeshurun from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM on Sunday, March 22. We’ll be serving a light vegetarian Middle Eastern/Mizrahi lunch while sampling a Passover Greek spanakopita that Jennifer will demonstrate for the upcoming holiday. She will share how Passover foods vary across Sephardic and Mizrahi communities, reflect on her experience writing her cookbook, and discuss diverse holiday rituals and customs. Recipe sampled from Jennifer’s cookbook, Too Good To Passover, will be provided to attendees.
What will I learn?
Cooking along with me in real time, students will be able to easily follow my step-by-step instructions while asking questions. At the end of each lesson participants will come away with a better understanding of the basic skills needed to complete a specific recipe from start to finish, while learning how to prepare it from the comfort of their own kitchen(s).
What do I need to participate in a virtual class?
If you have a good internet connection and computer, tablet, or smartphone, you should be good to go! We will connect live, over Zoom. Private virtual lessons will be scheduled for a date and time that is convenient for everyone.
What do I need to participate in an in-person class?
In-person classes can be organized in the comfort of your very own home and kitchen! After we work out a menu, I will send you a detailed ingredients and equipment list to have ready for the day of the class. We will work together to find a date and time that is convenient for everyone.
Do I need special ingredients or equipment?
