Persian Kebab House
Kebab houses started popping up across Iran over 100 years ago, and continue to attract visitors from all over the world who want to experience the flavor and aroma of these perfectly grilled meats. Join Omid Roustaei as he takes you on a tour of the traditional Persian kebab house, complete with all the fixin’s. You’ll make kabob koobideh, a minced lamb kebab, as well as kabob barg, made from sirloin beef tips, and joojeh kabob, a chicken kebab marinated in yogurt and seasoned with saffron. You’ll also learn to make the dishes that accompany the kebabs, including basmati rice; naz khatoon (a tangy fire-roasted eggplant and herb spread); and sabzi khordan (a fresh herb platter with feta and radishes).

Fall Farmers Market
It’s hard to get too down about the shorter, cooler days when the change of seasons means that the fall harvest is coming! In this class, Omid Roustaei will show you how to create a fabulous autumn meal with some of our favorite ingredients found at the farmer’s market. You’ll make gochujang brown butter sweet potatoes with roasted chickpeas; coconut, parsnip, and apple soup with crispy shallot coconut jumble; roasted butternut squash with rosemary, fennel, and toasted hazelnuts; and Moroccan-spiced Brussels sprouts and kabocha squash with ras el hanout and feta yogurt whip.
