What: We will prepare and eat a traditional Syrian lenten supper. Orthodox lent means no meat, no dairy, and no alcohol, although a small glass of wine is permitted on the weekends to lighten the fast. This is a vegan meal and you will learn to make classic vegan Syrian food commonly served for dinner with family and friends. We will work together to prepare a feast and then relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor. This menu is completely vegan. This menu includes wheat, but special accommodations are possible with advance notice.
