October 25, 2016 Mediterranean Cooking Class

with Kim Rosner

Many of you may not yet know our own Kim Rosner, long-time Tempe Sister City member, mother of Sheridan, 2011 Student Delegate to Skopje, Macedonia, and Spenser who was the 2015 Student Delegate to Regensburg, Germany.  Kim and husband Chris both share a love of the foods of this region.  Chris grew up with it; Kim learned to make these foods from her mother-in-law, Barbara, over the past 30 years.  And where did Barbara get her recipes from?  As with all family traditional recipes, they were handed down from great-grandmother to grandmother to mom. Barbara remembers her grandmother rolling out the paper thin phyllo dough and draping it over clothing racks and wires strung across the house to dry before cutting it into sheets to make the baklava.

Join us to enjoy these handed down recipes in this 4-course menu:
• Fresh pita bread with baba ganoush, labane and hummus spreads..
• Grape leaf rolls of ground beef, rice and spices served over the tomato sauce they are cooked in
• Pork and lamb kibbe over roasted red pepper sauce, accompanied by a refreshing insalata
• Baklava – yes the same recipe that has been handed down for 4 generations
