Join Ilan and Margaret on November 3 to share recipes and stories from their new book. Sabor Judío celebrates the delicious fusion of two culinary traditions: Jewish and Mexican. Written with joy and verve, this lavishly illustrated cookbook demonstrates how cooking and eating connect Jewish-Mexicans across places and generations. Featuring one hundred deeply personal recipes enjoyed by Mexican Jews around the world, the book is organized by meal— desayuno (breakfast), almuerzo (lunch), and cena (dinner)—and also includes dishes made for Shabbat, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Passover, Hanukkah, Shavuot, and other holidays.

Each ticket includes bites and conversation, and you can add on a copy of Sabor Judío at 40% off the retail price.
