Shabbat Comfort Food from Around the World


4 Thursdays at 6:00 p.m. ET, Feb. 5 - 26

All Zoom sessions recorded and sent to registrants


Every Jewish community across the globe has its comfort foods — and those hearty, tasty dishes are often slow cooked over night and eaten during Shabbat.



Join our beloved chef and Nosher writer Vered Guttman — a walking encyclopedia of global Jewish cuisines — as she shows us how to make several different Shabbat comfort food dishes, from cultures ranging from Poland to Iraq.


Jewish communities across the Diaspora all shared one common constraint: The laws of kashrut, which prohibit cooking on Shabbat. To ensure a hot meal could still be served, each community created its own signature Shabbat dish, cooked slowly overnight and enjoyed the next day.


You'll leave this class with recipes that will have your friends and family clamoring to get back to the Shabbat table — and you'll learn about these different Diaspora cultures along the way.


The recordings and recipes from each class are yours to keep, so you can rewatch class sessions to perfect your technique.


Your tastebuds will thank you for these delicious Jewish food flavors!


In this class, you'll make:

  • Cholent, an Ashkenazi overnight stew
  • Moroccan Adafina
  • Tbeet, an Iraqi chicken dish, with fried eggplant and tahini sauce
  • Oshisavo, a Bukharian stew with beef, rice and fruit
  • Yemenite Kubaneh (bread) and jachnun (pastry rolls)



There are no refunds available for this class.
