An Intimate Look at Macedonia

The invites the public to take An Intimate Look at Macedonia Tuesday, July 12 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Brighton Library.

Macedonian native Emanuela (Emma) DeCenso and her husband Michael will highlight the rich culture, food, and landscape of this small Southeastern European country that is bordered by Greece, Albania, Kosovo, Serbia and Bulgaria. 

“Macedonia is often one of the most overlooked countries of Europe," notes Emma. "It’s famous for its tourism, culture and great hospitality."

In additional to a slide presentation, those attending will have an opportunity to see a traditional Macedonian dance set to music, write their name using the Cyrillic alphabet, and learn common greetings. Participants will also taste-test Macedonian cuisine, including baked beans created the Macedonian way and Ajvar, a tomato and pepper dip. Emma will conclude the food portion of the program with a surprise Macedonian dish.
