Taste and Talk: Memories of a Good Meal
DATE: Sunday 12/6/26 TIME: 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Join us for a conversation with renowned chef Alon Shaya and Los Angeles based food critic Aliza Sokolow about Shaya's new book, Memories of a Good Meal. Following the conversation will be a tasting of some Hanukkah themed treats featured in the book.
Memories of a Good Meal, co-written by June Hersh, compiles diverse recipes from World War II, including foods from different countries, cultures and circumstances. This book honors courage and resilience, but also appetite and pleasure, family and tradition, generosity and community. It is a testament to the power of a good meal—not simply to sustain the body, but to hold memory, preserve identity, tell a story, and connect one generation to the next.
