WATERTOWN — The Tekeyan Cultural Association (TCA) Boston Chapter presented a new episode on April 30 of its ongoing cooking class series, this time starring Aleppine-style mortadella and mushabak, at the Baikar Building in Watertown. Expert cooks Rita Balyozian (co-chair of the chapter) and Rubina Davidian presented demonstrations on how to prepare these items before the audience got to taste samples.

Mushabak is a deep-fried sweet made from semolina and other ingredients, while Aleppine mortadella is distinct from the Italian type, with seven spices, Aleppo pepper, pistachios, garlic and other ingredients.
