Chef Alexa will explain flavorful dishes that promote a heart healthy, high fiber, and low sugar diet. Get your kitchen passport ready to explore recipes that don’t require meat, but which are still packed with flavor. Widely spanning from North Africa through Asia, each Middle Eastern country has its own unique flavor, spices, and ingredients. Spices like coriander, turmeric, saffron, garlic, cinnamon, and cardamom are only the beginning! We'll also explore sumac, Aleppo pepper, mint, cumin, Ras el Hanout and Za'atar to enhance our Middle Eastern inspired cuisine.  Led by popular personal chef Alexa Joan Wajed, who has both hospitality and culinary degrees, and was professionally trained in both Italy and America. While not in the kitchen, she is an accomplished artist, entrepreneur, and adjunct college professor.
