Last Friday the students learned more about the cradle of civilization, Mesopotamia, through an in-depth look at the area's cuisine. The students made an ancient Persian winter dessert known as Halva, and were exposed to ingredients indigenous to the area, like pomegranates and pistachios. They also used ingredients that people of the area would have traded for, like saffron, the world's most expensive spice. All-in-all the students had a great time with their first cooking lesson of the year.
The day was not without a couple minor casualties.
Alisar taught the class a new trick for de-seeding pomegranates.
Malin blooming some saffron.
Lucas demonstrating some impressive knife skills.
Tyler didn't want there to be picture evidence of his dish washing prowess.
Enjoying the final product.
