Family Kitchen: Saaj Flatbread–Making Workshop
Join Dayaa School & Kitchen for a hands-on saaj flatbread–making workshop rooted in reviving ancestral recipes that have been lost through displacement.
Inspired by what is believed to be Sydney’s oldest olive tree, planted at Elizabeth Farm in the early 1800s, participants of all ages will come together to learn the ancient art of making saaj flatbread– kneading, shaping and baking flatbread the traditional way before dressing it with olive oil and fragrant zataar and enjoying it fresh.
More than a cooking class, this is an intergenerational gathering that celebrates the joy of shared knowledge, the warmth of the table, and the living history woven into Elizabeth Farm’s historic garden.
Walk away with new skills, recipes to take home and a deeper connection to the food traditions that connect us across generations.
Adults are required to supervise participating children, and all participants require a ticket.
Materials and equipment provided. No experience necessary.
Suitable for ages 7+
Members get more: Members enjoy pre-sale access and a 20% discount on tickets.
