Join the talented cook Ruhiya Eltayeb for an intimiate cooking demonstration and dinner as she shares what defines the flavors of Gaza — and what separates it from other Palestinian kitchens.
At this special evening in Asif’s test kitchen, meet Ruhiya Eltayeb, a talented cook who draws culinary inspiration from various women in her life. With family roots in Jaffa, Gaza, and the West Bank, Ruhiya will share her family story and discuss the kitchen of Gaza and what makes it unique. She’ll demonstrate how to make five dishes before we all sit down to a meal.
Ruhiya works with Kitchen Talks, a social enterprise that offers vegan and vegetarian culinary experiences led by cooks from marginalized communities in Israel like asylum seekers, migrants, and minorities.
