MORE THAN MATZAH BALLS: FOOD AND COOKING IN JEWISH CULTURE
When you think of “matzah balls do you think of delicious dumplings made from a mixture of chickpea flour and ground chicken, spiced with turmeric and cardamom?
When you think of Latkes, do you think of potato pancakes flavored with ancho chili powder and topped with citrusy fennel and lime crema and rustic salsa macha? When you think of kugel, do you think of a combination of soaked and softened bread and French pears baked together and then topped with a cinnamon and dried plum compote? When you think of brisket, do you think of slow smoking hefty slabs of Angus beef for over half a day in an eighteen-foot-custom smoker before slowly cooking the meat until it simply falls apart in its own sweet, smoky and mouth-watering deliciousness? Come and hear from the chefs that do. Cookbook author, food writer, cooking teacher and chef Pati Jinich is host of the Public Television series “Pati’s Mexican Table.” Joan Nathan regularly contributes to The New York Times, Food Arts Magazine and Tablet Magazine and is the author of ten award-winning cookbooks; six focus on Jewish cooking, two highlight Israeli cuisine and two focus on American cooking.
