Layers of Flavor: A Lebanese Kibbee Class

Come join us for this special class in Lebanese cooking! This dish is taught by our guest instructor Lauren Bruce!

Lauren's Intro:

I love teaching people how to make Kibbee - a traditional Lebanese dish made with minced beef and/or lamb, bulgur, warm spices, and pine nuts.

You can find Kibbee here and there around town, but my family’s version has a magic of its own. Over the years, I’ve lost count of how many people have told me it’s the best they’ve ever had outside their own homes - better than any restaurant around.

As the only girl born into my family, I was learning the art of Lebanese cooking before I could even walk or talk. This recipe has been passed down for generations, and every time I make it, I feel connected to the women who came before me. Teaching it feels like carrying that tradition forward - bringing people together through food, stories, and a whole lot of love. Because that’s the Lebanese way.

Our Mission: Let our cooking classes inspire you. Work with our chef/instructor to learn how to prepare delicious recipes, hone essential techniques, and put some "heart" back into cooking.
