SUMMARY:CANCELED: Persian Mulberry Sweets: A No-Bake Confectionery Class
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Azita R. Houshiar\nDate/Time: Saturday\, September 26\, 10am-12pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus $10 supply fee\nClass size: 4-20 participants\n(Register by September 22) \nCome learn how to make a classic Persian treat called Tut. These delightful\, bite-sized sweets are named after the Persian word for mulberry because of their charming shape. In this hands-on workshop\, you will learn to mix a simple dough using ground almond flour\, confectioners sugar\, rosewater\, and aromatic cardamom. Because this is a simple no-bake recipe\, it is incredibly easy to recreate at home. \nYou will spend the session hand-rolling and shaping the dough into little mulberries\, then adding a tiny pistachio sliver for the stem to finish the look. It is a tactile\, relaxing process that feels a lot like working with edible clay. \nWhile we shape our sweets\, we will talk about the rich history behind them and the central role that hospitality and ceremony play in Persian culture. \nThese treats are naturally gluten-free and vegan\, making them a perfect addition to any celebration or gift box. You will leave the class with a batch of your own handmade sweets and a recipe to share with friends and family. Join us to master a unique culinary skill that is as simple to make as it is delicious to eat. \n \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility\, and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.
