Join Jewish Federation of St. Louis for a special Farm to Table Vilna Experience, centered around The Vilna Vegetarian Cookbook by Fania Lewando, proprietor of a popular vegetarian restaurant in Vilna, Lithuania. Originally published in Yiddish in 1938, Lewando’s cookbook was rediscovered more than half a century later after Fania died in World War II. A vegetarian cookbook of this size was groundbreaking at the time it was published.
The event will feature cooking demonstrations and a discussion of 1930’s Vilna culture and music that will recreate the feeling of Jewish life in the 1930s. Margi Lenga Kahn, a local food author, will be the presenter.
Farm to Table Vilna Experience will take place at Crown Center Café at 8350 Delcrest Drive at 2:00 pm on Sunday, January 22. Dietary laws observed.
Seating is limited. RSVP to Andrew Goldfeder at AGoldfeder@JFedSTL.org or 314-442-3711.
This event is generously sponsored by the Center for Jewish Learning, Saul Brodsky Jewish Community Library, the Holocaust Museum & Learning Center, and the Crown Center for Senior Living.
