All About Kugel: Sweet, Savory, and Comforting

Location : Market Street Studios, 9 Market Street, Ellenville, NY

Come for the nosh, stay for the drash—it's kugel! Culinary historian Avery Robinson explores Jewish American cultural identity through the lens of this culturally significant Ashkenazi casserole. It’s a journey that begins in Medieval Europe and continues across the Atlantic to the Catskills where kugels' appearances and guises reflect a rapidly assimilating and globalizing American Jewry. 

Avery is a cofounder of Rye Revival, a nonprofit promoting rye as a climate change mitigation strategy, and he runs Black Rooster Food, maker of 100% rye sourdough bread.
