Family Dinner: Boustany Cookbook Release

Price: $150

Join us for a dinner where we do all the cooking! Each month we open the doors between our classrooms and seat 40 guests for a five-course family-style spread, featuring all the ingredients we’re excited about. This time we are hosting Palestinian chef Sami Tamimi to celebrate the release of his new cookbook: Boustany. The first solo cookbook from Ottolenghi co-founder Sami Tamimi, Boustany is a homage to Palestinian food and culture. "Boustany" translates from Arabic as "my garden," which reflects Sami's signature style and approach to food: colourful and simple vegetable- and grain-led dishes. Sami will join the Pantry team to enjoy some of his favorite dishes from the book. Pricing includes a wine pairing with each savory course, tea or coffee with dessert, and a copy of Boustany.
