Mimouna Feast

A cooking class to celebrate a Moroccan Passover Feast!

Mimouna, observed on the last day of Passover, is a tradition marking the return of spring, and of course, the return of leavened bread. Join us on a cross-cultural culinary adventure as we celebrate this Jewish-Muslim holiday with Kitchensurfing Chef Sean O’Brien!  Laura Mandel of New Center NOW–an organization that explores Jewish imagination through interaction–will also be on hand to comment on our delicious dishes from a cultural perspective.

Chef Sean, whose cooking style spans the globe and ranges from Mediterranean/Middle Eastern to Creole and Barbeque, will teach students to create a delicious Mimouna-inspired menu, including: mufleta (traditional grilled flatbreads, served with local honey); zaalouk (Moroccan eggplant and tomato salad, served with fresh baguette); almond and goat cheese stuffed dates; roasted whitefish with saffron and lemon, served with herbed pearl cous cous; and almond brown butter cake with saffron cream. Chef Sean will teach students cooking techniques associated with these tasty items. Finally, we’ll sit down to enjoy a Mimouna feast together. This class is a collaboration between the Somerville Arts Council, New Center NOW, and Kitchensurfing.
