Join UC Berkeley’s Center for Jewish Studies and the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life for Diasporic Kitchens: Jewish-Mexican Recipes and Stories, a conversation, cooking demo, and tasting with Ilan Stavans and Margaret Boyle, authors of Sabor Judío: The Jewish-Mexican Cookbook, named a 2024 finalist in cookbooks and food writing by the Jewish Book Council. Stavans and Boyle will discuss how recipes from the collection tell stories about migration, identity, and memory, highlighting key people and places from the collection. The talk will also engage with how past and future generations use recipes as a way to sustain community and shape belonging. Following the conversation they will demonstrate one of the recipes, tastes will be available and the authors will sign books.
