In the spirit of #stayhome, Time Out Singapore has partnered with #savefnbsg to create a series of cooking webinars to keep you entertained from the comfort of your couch. We've taught you how to make cacio e pepe with chef Mirko Febbrile from one-Michelin-starred Braci and locally inspired nama chocolates with the award-winning Janice Wong.
This time, we travel North to the Middle East with chef Kamel Fakih from Kazbar. He'll teach us how to make classic dips like baba ghanoush from grilled eggplants and hummus from boiled chickpeas. All you have to do is get some bread (preferably pita) from some of Singapore's best bakeries and you'll have a great snack for your next Netflix sess.
