Learn to make mafeh (a savory peanut butter stew with chicken and vegetables) served over fluffy white rice and gingembre (a refreshing ginger drink that is both spicy and sweet)!
Our online classes are designed to be special, meaningful opportunities to share cooking, culture, and connection--just like our real life experiences. We want you to cook along, and we promise there will be plenty of time for questions, conversation, and stories. It will all end with a virtual dinner party where you'll get to share in the fruits of your labor, apart, but together!
In this 2.5 hour interactive online experience Yipin will guide you through making two of her favorite family recipes: mafeh (a rich and savory peanut butter stew made with bone-in chicken, cabbage, eggplant and okra) served over a plate of fluffy white rice and gingembre (a refreshing beverage made with fresh ginger, lemon, and pineapple juice, that is spicy, sweet, and truly delicious).
