You can change all that with Cook Street School of Fine Cooking's A World of Taste series; the North Africa class runs from 6 to 9:30 p.m. tonight.
You'll learn how to make white bean dip; carrot salad with olives and cumin; cucumber and feta salad; lamb skewers with chermoula and couscous, and follow all that up with oranges and dates with cinnamon and almonds. The meal, complete with wine, is included in each $79 class.
You can sign up at 303-308-9300; to learn more about World of Taste classes -- including food from India, Thailand, Spain, Peru and Germany -- go to www.cookstreet.com. Cook Street is located at 1937 Market Street.
