Global Appetizer Class with Steve Coupet

Join us in a Global Appetizer Cooking Class with Haitian Chef, Steve Touchef Coupet! 

On the menu is Chef Steve's Kibbeh and Pikliz!

Kibbeh is an Arab dish that grew roots in Haitian cuisine back in the early 19th century when Syrian and Lebanese migrants settled in Haiti.  It became a traditional dish served at parties as an appetizer. It is made of ground meat (usually beef or lamb), bulger, and spices and is often paired with Pikliz, a Haitian condiment made of pickled cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and Scotch bonnet peppers.
