On
Saturday evening, I went to a cooking class in the town of Ridgewood, New
Jersey. The event took place at Spicer’s
Naturals, a store specializing in a variety of teas and spices from around the
world.
The class
was organized by Taryn Clayton and Meltem Spicer and focused specifically on
Vegan styled Turkish cuisine. Both Taryn
and Meltem are specialists in plant-based cooking, and Meltem, originally from
Turkey, wants to show that it can be applied to Turkish cooking.
Participants
in the class both ate and learned how to make dishes, such as Muhammara, Lentil
Borek, Eggplant Salad, Manti, and homemade Pistachio Ice Cream.
Other
classes focused on plant-based eating take place every couple of weeks at the
shop.
I
personally enjoyed the class as it gave me an opportunity to learn how to make
Turkish food and how to make it in a vegetarian/vegan-friendly way.
