Make Mine Mediterranean with Chef Alba

Mediterranean food is influenced by North Africa, southern Europe, and eastern Mediterranean countries. This cuisine is intricately robust, boldly flavored, and free from complicated sauces and heavy dollops of cream and butter. Join Chef Alba as we prepare these tasty Mediterranean dishes. Our menu: halloumi cheese and vegetable kebabs, skinless chicken thighs in fresh lemon and garlic sauce, crushed lentils in tahini and cumin with yogurt sauce, and for dessert, exotic apricot-pistachio bites. Class is part hands-on, part demo. $18 materials fee. Info: Melissa Byrne, 410-313-4704 mbyrne@howardcountymd.gov.
