Join us for a presentation with Rachel Barnett, co-author of "Kugels and Collards: Stories of Food, Family, and Tradition."Kugels and Collards® explores South Carolina’s Jewish history through the lens of food and memory. What began as a blog in 2017 to highlight a lively collection of South Carolina Jewish stories and special family recipes was released as a book on August 29, 2023.
Where people go, so goes their food. In Kugels & Collards, Rachel Gordin Barnett and Lyssa Kligman Harvey explore the food history, traditions, and memories of Jews in South Carolina, building on their blog of the same title.
The book explores the diversity of Jewish South Carolina, with stories and recipes contributed from families with Sephardic and Ashkenazi heritage who have been in the state for hundreds of years, from descendants of Holocaust survivors, and from more recent immigrants from Russia and Israel.
Kugels & Collards is also a story of cultural assimilation and exchange and considers how local ingredients and techniques have become part of the South Carolina Jewish table, including the influence of the generations of Black women who cooked for Jewish families.
Registration is required, as seats are limited! We will serve light refreshments at 5:30, and the presentation will begin at 6:00.
