Cooking with Kelly
Around the Eastern Hemisphere
Starting Wednesdays January 15, 2025 9-11 am PST
Taste the World with Every Bite!
In the next 8 weeks we will be learning some of my favorite international recipes. The focus on this course will be the healing power of spices and how to use and integrate them into various dishes. We will be virtually visiting the eastern hemisphere (half of the Earth east of the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) and west of the 180° longitude line). If you have a globe, be sure to check it out so you can trace our culinary route! You can also use google earth.
Although we will be making many recipes together that have a long cultural tradition of being meat-based, I have also included vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options for each class.
