If you live
in Seattle and you want to explore Israeli cuisine and Jewish dishes around the
world, you are in a good spot. During the next few weeks, Seattle will stage
the Seattle Jewish Film Festival and will host several events with top Jewish
chefs and culinary experts.
On Sunday
April 3, start your day with the culinary movie Dough, a charming and funny cross-cultural British dramatic comedy
that will teach audiences about Jewish breads and baking goods. The movie
describes the relationship between a Jewish baker widower and his youngest
Muslim apprentice and their close relationship. Directed by John Goldschmidt, this dramedy
will make audiences laugh and cry in unexpected places.
On Thursday,
April 7, In Search of Israeli Cuisine, a documentary by director Roger Sherman, is about Israeli’s fusion and dynamic cuisine through the eyes
of James Award winner chef Micheal Solomonov. Attendees will be treated to a “taste
of Zahav” after the screening. On April 6, Solomonov will do a ZAHAV demonstration class at Hot Stove Society and will offer his culinary creations.
On April 16,
Joan Nathan, a well-known culinary anthropologist and chef will teach a World
Passover class at Hot Stove Society and will offer dishes from her spring
Passover recipes. The following day, she will speak about Passover recipes
from around the world at the Stroum Jewish Community Center on Mercer Island.
Attendees will have the chance to grab copies of her signed book Quiches, Kugels, and Couscous: My
Search for Jewish Cooking in France.
Finally on May 15, James Beard Award finalist Einat
Admony will demonstrate her famous cauliflower recipe, and will reveal
a new side of Mediterranean fusion cooking at the Stroum Jewish Community Center. Admony will also teach the Balaboosta Way at Hot Stove Society on Monday, May 16. Some of her Mediterranean meets Middle East recipes include pomegranate
chicken with walnuts, eggplant escabeche, and Persian rice.
