Treat yourself to a delectable feast complete with an Ethiopian coffee ceremony.

Dear WNY,

Have you heard about our new delicious monthly series at the Downtown Bazaar? Tuesdays with Andrew is a culinary exploration featuring a cuisine that you can sample, savor, and explore, led by Andrew Galarneau, an independent digital journalist offering his food report at fourbites.net. Join us this month on May 21 from 5-6 pm as we feature the food of Abyssinia Ethiopian Cuisine and chef-owner Zelalem Gemmeda.

Tickets are $35 and can be purchased here.

Zelalem will welcome guests with an Ethiopian coffee ceremony (Habesha coffee ceremony), a core cultural custom in Ethiopia. The evening’s menu will feature her signature dishes:

• Doro wot (drumstick and egg)
• Beef tibs
• Misir wot (lentils)
• Kiki Alecha (split peas)
• Yabeha gomen (spinach)

Taste some of the genius cooking and learn about Ethiopian culture, culinary techniques and ingredients.
