Cuisine across Cultures - Day 7

It's Wednesday!  This was a very interesting and fun class.  The dishes today were made from Northern Italy, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, Southeastern Germany and North Africa. 

We made three types of pasta - an egg pasta, pasta made with semilina flour, and buckwheat pasta.  Three dishes were created with these types of pasta.  We also made tabbouleh with pearl couscous (Lebanon/Palestine), two versions of Spaetzle (small dumplings made with chicken and veggies and complimented with either a dark or light sauce (German); Spatzle (pasta like dumplings from Southeastern Germany); Gougeres (lightly filled fluffy cheese filled puffs) - these were delicious!; Lamb Tagine with olives and lemon (North Africa) and finally Pommes Savoyarde, a version of gratin potatoes made with chicken stock and melted cheese - YUM!

Here are some photos of our production for today:
