For Immediate Release
Anissa Helou (www.anissahelou.com), Guest Instructor As a child in Beirut, Anissa Helou longed for the enticing foods like grilled lamb sandwiches sold by the street vendors, but her parents told her girls from good families didn't eat street foods. So these foods became the "forbidden fruit" for Anissa and have remained the focus of her travels as a food writer
and author of such cookbooks as Café Morocco and Lebanese Cuisine.
A resident of London and an extensive world traveler who speaks fluent French and Arabic, Anissa has carefully translated and tested these recipes for the American home kitchen: Hommus; Vegetable Fritters; Meat Bread; Feta Cheese Salad; Marinated Meat & Chicken Kebabs Served with Assorted Salads & Dips; and Moroccan Shortbread Served with Mint
Tea. $65 (price includes one copy of the paperback book)
Born in France to Algerian parents, Chef Zadi ( www.chefzadi.com ) has combined his passion for both cuisines throughout his career. He completed culinary school in Paris and has worked in France, the U,K., Seoul and Los Angeles. Currently he is a culinary instructor at the
prestigious California School of Culinary Arts, Le Cordon Bleu
Program. He will delight your taste buds with Orange & Onion Salad with Mixed Greens & Shallot Vinaigrette; Salata Meshwiya (grilled vegetable salad); Shrimp Brochettes with Chermoula; Chicken Brochettes with Preserved Lemon Sauce: Algerian Flat Bread; Merguez Sausage; and Harissa. $65
