Beejhy Barhany, author of the Ethiopian-Jewish cookbook Gursha, will lead a workshop preparing a signature Ethiopian spice blend.

Afterwards, we’ll enjoy a community dinner featuring dishes from both cookbooks, lovingly prepared by chef extraordinaire and MJM Executive Director Dawn LaRochelle, who will add her own creative twist to the recipes. Dawn will also moderate a conversation with the authors as we explore two rich culinary traditions in the Jewish diaspora: Ethiopian and Mexican cuisine.
