In the kitchen with Leah Koenig

Join  us for a sweet evening with Leah Koenig, author of The Dessert Table, as she shares the stories, traditions, and recipes behind some of the most cherished Jewish desserts.

A delicious celebration of Jewish baking and tradition, The Dessert Table takes readers on a journey through 2,000 years of Jewish sweets and the diverse cultures that have shaped Jewish food traditions around the world. From sprinkle cookies, honey cake, and flaky rugelach to airy meringues, Leah Koenig brings together recipes that are both traditional and whimsically modern. Each recipe offers a taste of history, celebration, and the joy of gathering around the table.

The evening includes a moderated conversation, live cooking demonstration, book signing, and meet-and-greet with Leah Koenig.
