The renowned culinary historian Dr Hélène Jawhara Piñer will discuss her book Matzah and Flour (2024). "To eat is to remember", argues the author, who also works as educator and chef. Jawhara Piñer will guide us in the history of the Sephardic Jews, and we will explore the central role of matzah and flour in Sephardic cuisine. Journey through centuries of tradition as flour, from various grains like chickpea, corn, and barley, intertwines with cultural narratives and religious observance. Delve into the symbolism of matzah, from its origins in the Exodus story to its embodiment of resilience and identity. Each of this cookbook’s thoughtfully prepared recipes is a testament to the transformative power of flour in Sephardic culinary heritage. From savory delicacies to sweet delights, these timeless flavors have sustained Sephardic families through history. 'Matzah and Flour' is a celebration of tradition, history, and the enduring legacy of Sephardic Jewish cuisine.
