Join us to celebrate the debut cookbook of Elazar Sontag and Anya Ku, who interviewed and photographed 20 residents of Oakland about their favorite dishes they make at home. As the authors say: "Through the process of interviewing and cooking with Oakland residents, we have heard many stories of upheaval and strife, but the one thing that consistently connects people to their culture is food! We want to celebrate the cultural pride that exists in this one-of-a-kind city." All of this is more remarkable given that Sontag was 17 and Ku was 19 when they created and completed the book.
Come to the event to meet the authors and sample dishes from Ruth Rosenblatt and Princeton Maharam, two chefs featured in the cookbook!
Guest Curator and Program Moderator, Alix Wall
