Shannon Sarna Book Talk and Cooking Demo

Come cook with Shannon Sarna, the “Queen of Challah,” as she shares recipes from her new cookbook, Modern Jewish Comfort Food: 100 Fresh Recipes for Classic Dishes from Kugel to Kreplach. Comfort food varies from person to person, family to family, region to region. As the author of Modern Jewish Baker and editor of The Nosher food blog, Sarna has always wanted to tell the story of the Jewish people through food. Modern Jewish Comfort Food showcases recipes and variations that have shaped Jewish cuisine from around the world—including immigration waves from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, New York City and beyond. Sarna shares many traditional dishes, and then provides exciting variations that will bring heartwarming comfort to the home kitchen. Modern Jewish Comfort Food will inspire home cooks to connect to Jewish foodways and explore the history of this diverse cuisine.

Admission is free and open to the community. A reservation is requested.
