Shannon Sarna - Modern Jewish Comfort Food: 100 Fresh Recipes for Classic Dishes from Kugel to Kreplach

Monday, November 21, 12 P.M.

 

Shannon Sarna tells the story of the Jewish people through food, showcasing recipes and variations that have shaped Jewish cuisine from around the world – including immigration waves from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, New York and beyond. She shares many traditional dishes, and then provides exciting variations that will bring heartwarming comfort to the home kitchen.

Mixing hands-on visuals, savvy tips, and tasty morsels of historical context, she endeavors to broaden interpretations of Jewish comfort foods, offering recipes inspired by the global Jewish diaspora, as well as the flavors of her Italian and Polish forebears.

This invigorating work takes Jewish cooking to a whole new level.

Shannon Sarna is the author of The Modern Jewish Baker, and her newest book Modern Jewish Comfort Food: 100 Fresh Recipes for Classic Dishes from Kugel to Kreplach. She is the editor of the popular Jewish food blog,The Nosher and co-host of the podcast Call your Mother.
