Everyone who knows Yusra knows one thing: she cooks with pure love! When she talks about food her eyes light up, and when she's in the kitchen you can't get the big smile off her face. Yusra has been cooking daily for 50+ years, and realized as she got older that her passion was cooking for others and teaching people how to cook. So now she is following her passion in her 60s, and you have the special chance to learn how to cook from her, as if you are being taught the special recipes from your Syrian grandmother.
Human tip: Yusra has a beautiful way of speaking, she brings life to every day tasks with her words, like a poet. Keep your ears and eyes open - you will learn a lot!
Yusra will teach how to make 'Al Kapsa' (her most requested recipe) A delicious and flavorful rice dish with chicken and 'Warbat' A sweet and creamy pastry similar to baklava. Note: Yusra is holding an early class (12pm) and a late class (5pm) so pick whichever suits you best! All classes will end with a group lunch or dinner with the food you've all made together in the super cool Kitchen Collective dining area right at the Meatpacking district. The perfect place to spend your lunch or start your Saturday night!!!
Yusra is a Syrian chef rooted in family tradition. She cooks with love, like a grandmother, and she commands the rich Syrian cuisine, the Levantine tradition. She was an English teacher most of her life, before she founded her own catering company, Yusras Køkken (@yusrakoekken). Now she follows her dreams of cooking for as many people as she can, and teaching people her secrets in the kitchen. Human tip: Yusra has a beautiful way of speaking, she brings life to every day tasks with her words, like a poet. Keep your ears and eyes open - you will learn a lot!
