The League of Kitchens — the widely acclaimed cooking school that empowers immigrant women to share family recipes, culinary expertise, culture, and stories through intimate, hands-on cooking workshops, both in their homes and online — releases its highly anticipated debut cookbook, The League of Kitchens Cookbook: Brilliant Tips, Secret Methods & Favorite Family Recipes from Around the World. Lisa will participate in an author talk moderated by Josh Foer to discuss the making and importance of the book.

Lisa Kyung Gross is the founder/CEO of League of Kitchens, a unique culturally immersive cooking experience in New York City and online where immigrant women, who are exceptional home cooks, teach their family recipes. LoK has been featured in Food and Wine Magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Oprah Magazine, and on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert, among others. Saveur called it "The multicultural cooking school you've been waiting for."

As the daughter of a Korean immigrant and a Jewish New Yorker, Lisa was raised on one grandmother's denjang-guk and the other's matzoh ball soup. League of Kitchens is born out of her love of cooking, her connection to the immigrant experience, and her desire to connect people across difference. She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two daughters.
