If you’re passionate about immersing yourself in a culture, what better way than through its culinary traditions? While savoring Bahrain’s cuisine is a fantastic experience, there’s something uniquely rewarding about learning to prepare its iconic dishes firsthand.
Enter machboos, a dish deeply rooted in Bahraini tradition. If you’ve ever dreamed of mastering this flavorful delight, your opportunity has arrived.
This Saturday (March 13), Chef Lulwa Sowaileh, hailing from the Four Seasons Bahrain Bay, is offering an exclusive online cooking workshop. The class, facilitated by the learning platform Maximize Bahrain, is a chance to embrace the modern approach to crafting prawn machboos.
