Syrian Food All Day with Anas Atassi

Join guest chef Anas Atassi, author of the new book “Sumac: Recipes and Stories from Syria,” for a class that will show you three occasions when Syrian food should absolutely make an appearance on your table. First up is muhammara, a fast, flavorful, and beautiful dip of roasted red pepper, walnuts, and pomegranate molasses. A classic mezze dish in Aleppo, muhammara is excellent with crackers, fresh vegetables, or even as a creamy, vibrant accompaniment to roasted meats. Then, we’ll think about the weekend as we make musabaha, a brunch dish that is sort of like a deconstructed, hassle-free variation on hummus. And finally, treat yourself to an afternoon snack inspired by toshka, a beloved Syrian street food. Cheesy, meaty, and crisp, toshka are great on the go, and Anas will give you his thoughts on how to make them the base of a full meal, as well. As we cook, Anas will share stories and reflections of Syria’s rich food culture.

About Anas: Anas Atassi was born in Homs, Syria. His passion for cooking and Syrian food inspired him to write “Sumac: Recipes and Stories from Syria,” to preserve his family recipes and stories. “Sumac” will take you on an inspiring food journey, introducing you to the delicious Syrian food, the rich Syrian food culture, and the lives and homes of the Syrian people. Anas currently works and lives in Amsterdam.
