There is no greater authority on Jewish cooking than Joan Nathan. In addition to her latest, “My Life in Recipes: Food, Family, and Memories.” Nathan has written twelve other cookbooks, including “King Solomon's Table,” “Jewish Cooking in America” and “The Jewish Holiday Baker.” She has won numerous awards and has been inducted into the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who in American Food and Beverage. “My Life in Recipes” is her most personal book yet, recounting her family’s arrival to America, her childhood and an adulthood centered around family and meals. Boston Magazine food editor Rachel Leah Blumenthal moderates.
Copies of the book will be available to purchase from our bookstore partner Brookline Booksmith. Nathan will sign and guests will enjoy two kosher-style bites from the book: mahammar (Syrian pepper, pomegrante and walnut dip) with matzo and a Passover pecan lemon torte with lemon curd filling.
This event is co-produced by Boston University Metropolitan College Programs in Food & Wine.
