Join us in the Museum at Eldridge Street’s historic Main Sanctuary on Thursday, December 5th at 6pm!
James Beard Award-winning chef and author ROZANNE GOLD sits down with The League of Kitchens founder LISA KYUNG GROSS to discuss the impact of women and immigration on our food culture and society in celebration of the new League of Kitchens Cookbook, named one of the Best of 2024 by Forbes. Featuring time-honored recipes from the school’s instructors, the cookbook is an invitation into the kitchens of 14 exceptional home cooks from across the globe, hailing from Mexico, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ukraine, Greece, Afghanistan, India, Argentina, Japan, Uzbekistan, Lebanon, India, and Nepal.
Rozanne and Lisa will be joined by instructors NAWIDA SAIDHOSIN and RACHANA RIMAL to share recipes from Afghanistan and Nepal respectively, in addition to their reflections and stories of resilience.
A light reception and book signing will follow this discussion.
The League of Kitchens Cookbook: Brilliant Tips, Secret Methods & Favorite Family Recipes from Around the World will be available for purchase at this event.
The League of Kitchens is the widely acclaimed cooking school founded a decade ago by Lisa Gross, the daughter of a Korean immigrant and a Jewish New Yorker, whose goal was to empower immigrant women by sharing their family recipes, culinary expertise, culture, and stories through intimate, hands-on cooking workshops, both in their homes and online.
At its heart, The League of Kitchens Cookbook is a celebration of the contributions of immigrants to our food culture and society, and an invaluable resource for anyone looking to enrich their culinary repertoire with delicious and authentic home cooking.
Our host and moderator Rozanne Gold, has always believed that when a cuisine leaves its country of origin, its recipes become sacred. It is these recipes that handclasp the generations and allow the kitchen to become a monument to love, memory, nourishment, and grace.
