Pickle Night: Preserving the harvest from Palestine to Poland.
Description
It's mouneh season! Every autumn, families across Bilad al-Sham fill their pantries with pickles and preserves to see them through winter. Join aunties from Palestine and the wider Levant as they teach us how they pickle, and share what they preserved and why.
But every culture has its own way of keeping the harvest. Irish, English, Welsh and Scottish, Polish, Korean, Egyptian: we want to hear yours too. Bring a story, a family recipe or just your appetite, and we'll swap traditions over food!
What you'll do:
• Make two jars to take home: hot-pink turnips with beetroot, and cucumbers with garlic, carrot and chilli
• Hear from the aunties and share your own family's preserving traditions
• Try pickles, bread and za'atar at the tasting table
• Finish with a little dabke and a raffle
No experience needed. Everything is provided.
Every ticket funds Al-Adli Advocacy, a volunteer team helping patients in Gaza reach hospital care abroad.
