Preserving Your Family Recipes and Stories
with a tasting opportunity following the workshop

Participants will learn about the power of food to create deep connections, instill pride, and offer a space for potentially difficult conversations during this challenging time. The workshop explores what Jewish food is and builds on a range of examples from The Jewish Food Society archive and book to offer tools and to illustrate the process of interviewing and capturing family stories, developing and preserving family recipes, and documenting and sharing this information with others. Following the talk, you'll have a chance to sample Matzah Spinach Pie, Red Cabbage, Date and Beet Salad, Charoset Balls, and a Chilled Apple Drink with Rosewater.
