Cooking class experience — learning Manti properly

I took a cooking class specifically to learn how to make Manti correctly. The instructor explained why madzoon yoghurt is used the way it is — something I'd never understood from just eating it. The sweet-sour from pomegranate and apricot 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.
