An Armenian Lunch with Chef Serge Madikians of Serevan

In this class Chef Serge Madikians of Serevan will share a classic Armenian dish from his travels in the place of his ancestors. On these trips Serge explored the joy of eating, including freshly cooked Jingalov Hats – literally, jungle bread, as it is loaded with foraged herbs and greens from the forests of Nagorno Kharabagh. It’s a remarkable dish in both its simplicity and intense flavor. Each student will help form and cook their own. To accompany the Jingalov Hats Serge will share his unique version of Tabouli and a refreshing chilled yogurt summer soup. You’ll love how the seasonal flavors and use of fresh herbs come together to create a perfect summer lunch, which we’ll enjoy together.

Menu to include:

• Jingalov Hats – An herb and green leaf-stuffed flat bread
• Chef Madikian’s own Tabouli
• Chilled Savory Yogurt Soup
