With Einat Admony, Leah Koenig & Adeena Sussman

Get inspired for the Jewish New Year as we celebrate the tableau of flavors that Israeli and Jewish food in the diaspora have to offer with Einat Admony, Leah Koenig and Adeena Sussman. Einat, an Israeli living in New York, is the author of “Shuk: From Market to Table, the Heart of Israeli Home Cooking.” Leah is the author of “The Jewish Cookbook,” a celebration of the diversity and breadth of contemporary global Jewish cuisine. Adeena, an American living in Israel, is the author of “Sababa: Fresh Sunny Flavors From My Israeli Kitchen.” They’ll discuss the complex nuances of Jewish food and culture, with roots in Persia, Yemen, Libya, the Balkans, the Levant and all the regions that contribute to the evolving food scene in Israel and the diaspora.
