Cooking class experience — learning Harissa properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Harissa correctly. The instructor explained why madzoon yoghurt is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The warmly herbal result when you make it yourself is different.

the Armenian genocide shaped diaspora communities who carried the cuisine globally. We learned how a family khorovats barbecue Sunday shapes the way this dish is eaten. The class ended with the meal and a glass of pomegranate wine. I've made it three times since and each time it improves. Highly recommend the cooking class approach.
