From 6:00PM to 9:00PM, attendees will follow the guidance of El Zein and Chef McMann as they explore the diversities and intricacies of traditional dishes, spices and flavors of the Middle East. Students will learn to create rich and authentic Arab dishes sure to wow any dinner guest, all while sipping on traditional and tasty drinks.

    Embracing its Arabic name, which translates to 'pantry,' Moona is located in Cambridge and specializes in hot and cold mezzas (small plates) by integrating locally sourced and seasonal ingredients with house-made aromatic spice blends, jams and pickles, which are also available for purchase. Growing up in Abu Dhabi, El Zein, formerly of Masa Restaurant Group, was always inspired by the food of his childhood.
