About Andrea Loreto
Born in Florence, Italy, Andrea Loreto now calls Eugene his home. Having spent the first thirty years of his life enjoying fine food and convivial living surrounded by friends and family in Tuscany, he found that his passion for high-quality food and meaningful dining experiences followed him. Indeed, like his musical accent, it is the very foundation of who he is, and part of what consistently draws people all over the world to his table. Andrea’s earliest memories are of cooking side-by-side with his grandmother in her small kitchen in the countryside outside Pisa. Even today, these classic recipes—Arista di Maiale, Parmigiana di Melanzane, Schiacciata all’Olio—find their way into his most elaborate preparations. Founder and owner of an Italian import company, EssentialsForEntertaining.com, Andrea divides his time between running his business, keeping up with his four-year old son, and sharing his enthusiasm for cooking and home entertaining with others. You can get a peek into his soul and see what makes him tick (and drool!) on his new blog site at: http://www.essentialsforentertaining.com/blog where he writes and talks about Italian Home Cooking and Entertaining.

Persian New Year
Nowruz

Saturday, March 15th
6-8pm, $50

Julie Lenox-Sharifi
President, Pomegranates Mediterranean & Middle Eastern Grocery

Nowruz is everything Western New Year's is not. It's a family event, and an opportunity to celebrate the coming of spring. The two-week holiday begins at the moment the sun crosses the celestial equator. This year, the equinox occurs March 19th at 9:48pm. Julie has based the menu on the Persian New Year (Na Rooz) and will make some of the more common dishes and have discussions about the sybolisim of the dishes and their ingredients. She will also introduce you to some of the customs of the Persian New Year.

Menu

Ash Reshteh ~ Noodle Soup
Sabzi Polow ~ Basmati Rice with Fresh Herbs
Mahi ~ Pan Fried Fish with Blood Orange

About Julie Lenox-Sharifi
Julie Lenox-Sharifi opened Pomegranates Mediterranean & Middle Eastern Grocery in 2006 to fill a need that was missing in her life of food. She was introduced to Persian Cuisine in 1993 in Los Angeles and has been expanding her knowledge ever since. Having mastered her in-laws family recipes, she has been on a quest for the past few years to build her knowledge of regional variations of Persian Cooking. Now she wants to share what she has discovered with you. Julie has been instructing other throughout Eugene for the past year now.
