Cookbook author and culinary instructor Emily Paster will teach you how to make fresh, fast, and tasty summer salads you can serve as a main dish!
When is a salad a meal? These main course salads are packed with enough vegetables and protein to keep you satisfied for hours whether you are enjoying them for lunch or dinner. In this class we will learn to make two popular main course salads, France’s Salade Nicoise and the Middle East’s fattoush - made even better with pan-fried halloumi cheese. Attendees will receive samples of the prepared dishes.
An Ivy League-educated lawyer turned food writer, Emily Paster brings passion, a sharp intellect and attention to detail to her cuisine. An expert on Jewish food, Emily respects the traditions of both Ashkenazi and Sephardic cooking, but is willing to break the rules in search of the best flavor — for example, making Olive Oil Ice Cream instead of fried doughnuts for Hanukah or lightening up her grandmother’s kreplach recipe with chicken instead of brisket. Her time living in Paris inspired her lifelong exploration of Jewish foodways around the globe and today translates into modern scratch recipes that appeal to contemporary palates.
