Queen of Sheba Workshop
Ethiopian Cooking Workshop with A Personal Touch
Kibbutz Beit HaEmek
In honor of the Sigd holiday, Adi invites you to her home at Kibbutz Beit HaEmek in the Western Galilee—nestled right by the avocado orchards—for a cooking workshop that blends traditional Ethiopian cuisine with her unique flavors and creative flair.
This workshop is perfect for vegetarians, gluten-free eaters, and anyone eager to explore new flavors. We will prepare a variety of vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, alongside beef and fish options. Dabo, a traditional spiced bread, is the only item on the menu that contains gluten.
We’ll begin with a welcoming spread of warm, oven-fresh baked goods, dips, and a sweet treat—all inspired by Ethiopian culinary traditions—served alongside coffee, orange juice, and fruit-infused water.
Once we’ve satisfied our initial hunger, we’ll roll up our sleeves, learn about the ingredients, and work together to prepare a rich, festive meal.
What will we be making?
- Dabo – A soft, fragrant Ethiopian bread.
- Injera – The “queen” of Ethiopian cuisine. We’ll explore its ingredients and the secrets to preparing it.
- A variety of vegetarian stews, plus a spicy beef stew.
- Beef tartare — with a personal touch — served on a gluten-free seed cracker.
- Fish tartare served atop a tomato cream.
Once the preparation is complete, we will gather around the table to enjoy the meal we’ve created together— a feast of rich flavors and stories, served with hospitality that feels like a warm embrace. You’ll head home with a recipe booklet so you can continue the experience in your own kitchen.
Adi Shmuel is a baker, cook, and host. She loves people and food and, above all, the connection that forms when they gather around a single table.
Price: 430 NIS per person, including a welcoming reception, the workshop, the meal, and a recipe booklet to take home.
