SUMMARY:Spring Levantine Cooking Class with Chef Nicco Muratore
DESCRIPTION:CARNATION\, WA\n\nOverview\n\n\n\n\n\nCelebrate spring on the f
 arm: harvest insights\, pasture-raised lamb\, bold flavors\, and hands-on 
 cooking with Chef Nicco\n\n\n\n\nWelcome spring with a hands-on Levantine 
 cooking class led by Chef Nicco Muratore\, celebrating bright flavors\, fr
 esh greens\, and pasture-raised Carnation Farms lamb. In many Levantine cu
 ltures\, spring is marked by communal feasts that honor renewal\, abundanc
 e\, and the return of fresh produce after winter. This class draws inspira
 tion from that tradition\, bringing people together around seasonal food a
 nd shared tables.\n\nGuided by the rhythms of the season\, guests will beg
 in the experience with a visit to our vegetable fields to see what’s gro
 wing and learn what’s available to harvest\, grounding the meal in the l
 and it comes from.\n\nBack in the kitchen\, we’ll explore a seasonal men
 u rooted in tradition and farm-fresh ingredients. The evening begins with
  shamandar—silky shredded beets folded into yogurt\, tahini\, lemon\, a
 nd garlic—followed by a spring-forward take on baba ganoush\, finished 
 with sweet peas and crisp radishes. At the heart of the class\, Chef Nicco
  will demonstrate marinated and grilled farm lamb leg kebabs\, made with 
 our own pasture-raised lamb and served with spring onion labneh and a brig
 ht asparagus salad.\n\nWe’ll gather around the table to enjoy a vibrant
  spring fattoush\, tossed with radishes\, peas\, mint\, crunchy pita chip
 s\, and a tangy sumac dressing.\n\nThis class is an invitation to slow dow
 n\, cook with intention\, and celebrate the season together—honoring the
  spirit of a spring Levantine feast from field to kitchen to table at Carn
 ation Farms. Perfect for experienced cooks and new learners alike!\n\nChef
  Nicco Muratore was born and raised in Boston\, where he got his start co
 oking at the restaurants inside the historic Fenway Park. Since then\, he

 le’s own Mamnoon where he became Chef de Cuisine of in 2019. Since then 
 he’s taken the menu to new heights\, and in 2022 took over the role of M
 ama Group Culinary Director\, overseeing the culinary teams at all of the 
 Mamnoon-related restaurants. Recently he’s appeared on Food Network’s

 y. In 2024\, he branched out from restaurant work and can now be found in
