ANOOSHABOUR & CHOEREG

With Gigi Dunaians Young

Sunday, 23 November 2008
St Stephens Church Hall, 48 Emperor's Gate, SW7
(Tube: Gloucester Road)

Rival of the French brioche, this fragrant holiday bread is served most often at Easter but also enjoyed on other festive occasions.

6:00 – 8:30 pm Join us for a light dinner of Armenian lentil soup, boereg, salads and, of course, choereg and anooshabour, served with wine or soft drinks.

Admission: Cookery class £12 (£10 Friends of AI)
Dinner £12 (£10 Friends of AI; children £5)
Cookery class and dinner: £20 (£15 Friends of AI)
