Description

Please join us for a wonderful lunch and learn with June Hersh, auithor of Food, Hope & Resilience: Authen¬tic Recipes and Remark¬able Sto¬ries from Holo¬caust Survivors.
Some¬times we leaf through cook¬books for din¬ner ideas, and some¬times we actu¬al¬ly read them because we want to learn some¬thing, to be inspired. June Hersh’s new cook¬book does this and more. Here, in the revised edi¬tion of her 2013 book, Recipes Remem¬bered: a Cel¬e¬bra¬tion of Sur¬vival, Hersh weaves sto¬ries and recipes from Holo¬caust sur¬vivors with recipes from notable culi¬nary icons of today — all of which con¬nect us to each oth¬er, to our his¬to¬ry, and, ulti¬mate¬ly, to our shared human¬i¬ty. The book could not be more time¬ly; it nour¬ish¬es us both phys¬i¬cal¬ly and spiritually.
June Hersh is a five-time pub¬lished author, with four cook¬books and one Holo¬caust pho¬tog¬ra¬phy book. She focus¬es on food his¬to¬ry, main¬ly the con¬nec¬tion between Jew¬ish expe¬ri¬ences and food mem-o¬ry. June’s books are writ¬ten with a char¬i¬ta¬ble fla¬vor, as her pro¬ceeds ben¬e¬fit not-for-prof¬it Jew¬ish-relat¬ed orga¬ni¬za¬tions. She has been fea¬tured on radio, TV, in print, and hun¬dreds of book talks relat¬ed to her work.
