CAARI COOKS!
Oh, yes we do! Late in the afternoon, after our community service work and lunch, we drove to South Tel Aviv to the Dan Gourmet Culinary School. This is the place where the Dan Chain hotels, like the King David, Dan Panarama, train their chefs. For several years, CAARI has been enjoying culinary classes at this wonderful facility with the best chefs!
Chef Arik was our instructor with 2 other assistants. The kitchen had one large station for all of us to work. This year we prepared ‘Food from the Galilee’: .

Arik first explained the recipes, and gave us a few tips cooking including specific spices that we would be using, like sumac, nigella, za’atar, bulgar and other ingrediients.
We chopped, cut, sliced, grilled, stirred and came out with an amazing dinner for us to enjoy. YUM! What could be better than an authentic meal?
Colorful, healthy and tasty!
Another great day! CAARI does cook!
