October 20, 4:00 P.M. Books & Bites: Food, Family, and Memories with Joan Nathan

A Conversation and Nosh with the Iconic James Beard Award-Winning Cookbook Author

25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA

The author of twelve cookbooks, most of them focused on Jewish cuisine in the United States, Israel, France, and other parts of the globe, Joan Nathan has spent a lifetime cooking and studying Jewish foodways. Her latest book, My Life in Recipes, is both a memoir and a cookbook that uses recipes to look back at her life and family history—and at her personal journey discovering Jewish cuisine from around the world.
Moderated by JBF's Sari Kamin, join us for an evening of conversation and bites as Joan reflects on the experiences and flavors that have culminated in an extraordinary lifetime of recipes.

Copies of My Life in Recipes by Joan Nathan are available for purchase with tickets or at the event from our partners at Kitchen Arts & Letters.
