Join us for the book launch of Sabor Judío: The Jewish Mexican Cookbook and meet the author, Bowdoin professor Margaret E. Boyle! Sabor Judío celebrates the delicious fusion of two culinary traditions, Jewish and Mexican. More than “just” a cookbook, it is also a vibrant history of Jewish immigration to Mexico from 1492 to the present. It explains how flavors and dishes evolved in Mexican and Jewish kitchens and how they fused into a distinct cuisine, mainly by the labor of Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, and converso women. Written with joy and verve and featuring 100 deeply personal recipes, this lavishly illustrated book demonstrates how cooking and eating connect Jewish Mexicans across places and generations.
Registration is free but required.
Autographed copies of the cookbook will be available for purchase.
