Chicago Lebanese cooking class October 19th!
Hello there! This is a quick note to let you know that I’ll be teaching Lebanese cuisine in Chicago on Monday, October 19th at the Chopping Block, Merchandise Mart in Chicago. I would love to see you there to talk, cook, taste, and of course: sign books for you, your family and friends! Reserve your seat by calling 312-644-6360, or click here.
I’ve been enjoying this wonderful culinary center since its first days in a wonderful old house on Webster in Lincoln Park, so it’s been special to see how The Chopping Block has grown and it’s a great honor to now bring Lebanese culinary delights there.
See you soon, Chicago!

I'm so glad you're here! You'll find among these pages the fresh and classic Lebanese recipes we can't get enough of! My mission is to share my tried + true recipes -- and to help our Lebanese food-loving community keep these culinary traditions alive and on the table. What recipes are you looking for? Let me know!
Awesome, my friend lives in Chicago, I’ll be sure to tell her about this!
Hi Maureen, thank you for your wonderful stories and recipes. I have two questions for you; will you be coming to Portland, Oregon on your book tour and if so, when? And, in general, what kind of cinnamon do you recommend for Lebanese cooking? A spicy-hot, strong Vietnamese cinnamon, a more mellow fruity-citrusy Ceylon, or maybe something in the middle?
Hi Jada–great question. I use all kinds of cinnamons rather than just one, but my basic is a Vietnamese cinnamon. Love it!
I’m in Chicago but no more places left:( Hope you come back soon!
So sorry Asma! I hope you got on the waiting list!
maureen, your cookbook, recipes, stories and pictures are all wonderful.
when, however, are you going to demonstrate how to bake the basic pita, lebanese/syrian bread that is so basic to all our food? so basic, in fact, that many middle eastern americans still use bread in place of utensils.
thank you!
Thank you–you’ll find the pita recipe in my cookbook, Rose Water & Orange Blossoms!
