Explore the modern and molecular gastronomic interpretations of an ancient cuisine dating back 2,000 years. During this class, Armenian-American culinary artist and instructor Linda will lead us through her original recipes inspired by her family's generations-old classics. First up on the menu is kahke crunch ejjeh with chèvre -- a crunchy and creamy variation on the traditional Armenian dinner omelette. Next up, molecular gastronomy madzoon ov kufteh, transforms the kuftehs into whimsical mini-sculptures and reimagines the classic yoghurt soup into a chilled foam with mint and chicken broth suspended in ”caviar" beads, made using sodium alginate and a calcium chloride bath. We'll end the meal with rum-infused banana baklava with bittersweet chocolate chips, which is a nod to the iconic Armenian classical composer Aram Khachaturian's time spent in Cuba during the late 1950s.
