Event Overview

Discover how food shapes culture and how conflict shapes food. In this six-class series, we’ll explore how iconic dishes from cultures around the world—from Burma to Ethiopia, Syria to Haiti—were created or affected by social or political unrest.

Proceeds fund Peterson Garden Project cooking and gardening summer programming for Camp GirlForward, dedicated to creating and enhancing opportunities for girls who have been displaced by conflict and persecution.

DESTINATION #2: North Africa & Ethiopia

In this class, we'll discuss the fraught history of coffee in Ethiopia and make doro wat, a hearty, rich Ethiopian stew. At the end of class, we’ll sit down and share the meal we created.

Hands-on, BYOB.
