About this Event
How often have you been stopped in your tracks by the gorgeous photo of a dish in a new cookbook, only to turn the page because the thought of shopping for a long list of ingredients you’ll never use again – then scrubbing a dozen pans – has you exhausted before you even started cooking?
If your answer is a resounding YES, it’s time to hear from beloved American Israeli cookbook author Adeena Sussman, whose new cookbook Zariz (“quick” in Hebrew) offers a joyful antidote to complicated cooking. Designed for busy lives and full kitchens, her recipes use no more than 12 ingredients beyond pantry staples, rely on fewer pots and pans, and deliver bold, craveable flavor with minimal fuss.
Join us as Adeena shares her easy, breezy approach to Israeli-inspired comfort food – from Sunny Sheet Pan Shakshuka to Baharat-Spiced Mushroom Hummus and Spice-Drawer Schnitzel. Hear stories from her life in Tel Aviv, and leave inspired to cook with more confidence, creativity, and calm.
Adeena Sussman is the author of the New York Times bestselling 2023 cookbook Shabbat: Recipes and Rituals From My Table To Yours, and Sababa, which was named a Best Fall 2019 cookbook by The New York Times, Bon Appétit, and Food & Wine. The co-author of 15 cookbooks, Adeena’s three most recent collaborations, including Cravings and Cravings: Hungry For More with Chrissy Teigen, were New York Times bestsellers. A lifelong visitor to Israel who has been writing about that country’s food culture for almost twenty years, Adeena lives, cooks and writes in Tel Aviv, where she lives in the shadow of that city’s Carmel Market with her husband, Jay Shofet.
