a successful makloubeh (upside down chicken)

I just found some photos from the Supper Club event. I’m happy to see that they don’t show me covered in olive oil, za’atar, and makloubeh!

Supper Club at Backstory Cafe
6100 S. Blackstone Avenue (in the Experimental Station)

Thursday December 4th
7:30pm

Make your reservation today to join our guest cookers/presenters for a family-style meal and conversation…

Rozalinda Borcila and Mary Rachel Fanning are artists and educators. They are members of the 6+ collective, which strives to build solidarities between women artists across great geographic and cultural distance. Over the last three years, 6+ has been working with Palestinian women artists on a project which traveled throughout the West Bank and the US. They are also working in collaboration with young women of Dheisheh Refugee Camp in the Occupied Territories of Palestine.

The work of the collective often takes place as women cook and share food together. This evening’s menu features dishes that have been shared many times with friends and loved ones in the Occupied Territories: Za’atar with bread and olive oil; Makloubeh (upside-down chicken); Msaqa’a  (eggplant and tomato casserole), Maramia tea.

Supper Club is $15 per person for a fixed menu created by the guest chefs (usually includes starters, entree, dessert, and tea/coffee)
