LLFW 241 - Appetizers Around the World

Antipasti, antojitos, hors d'oeuvres, meze, tapas--no matter what you call them, appetizers are a social food, consumed at leisure with the purpose of drawing people together. Usually the first course, they are meant to stimulate the appetite, not sate it, and are serious business all over Europe. Join us for a taste of why Europeans feel this way, as we explore the nuances of grilled tuna with green olive relish (Spain), shellfish fritters with spicy hot garlic mayonnaise (Southern France), polenta gratin with gorgonzola and mozzarella (Italy), fried cheese with lemon and olives (Greece), and crispy bulgur croquettes with pine nuts and spices (Middle East). This hands-on class is limited to 12.
