Featured Events
IN CONVERSATION WITH HOPE MENDRIN OF HOPE'S ARTISAN BREAD AND JENNA LEURQUIN OF JL PATISSERIE

Sarah Owens: Heirloom: Time-Honored Techniques, Nourishing Traditions, and Modern Recipes

PHOENIX | 4PM SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19

Book Cover
Author, baker, and horticulturist Sarah Owens presents her new cookbook, Heirloom, which presents ingredient-focused cooking and bread baking that emphasizes sourcing quality ingredients and relies on traditional techniques that extend the use of in-season produce and fresh food.

In conversation with Hope Mendrin of Hop's Artisan Bread and Jenna Leurquin of JL Patisserie.

Where cooking and baking traditions meet contemporary flavors—120 deeply nourishing, seasonal recipes and a guide to the plants and traditional preserving techniques that inspire them.

Organized into two parts, you'll discover the building blocks for inspired food. Part One explores traditional preservation techniques from fermenting and pickling to dehydrating, working with sourdough, and making broth, butter, yogurt, and whey.

Part Two becomes a full expression of ingredients and techniques: recipes that are nourishing, flavorful, and satisfying. With recipes that layer flavors in rich and unique ways and that reflect the seasons, the dishes here are comforting, surprising, and give a feeling of abundance. Heirloom is a personal book that shares Owens' unique perspectives and stories on food.

Dave Barry and Adam Mansbach: A Field Guide to the Jewish People

TEMPE | 7PM WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23

Book Cover
Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry and co-author Adam Mansbach (#1 New York Times bestselling author of Go the F**k to Sleep) share their hilarious guide to everything you need to know about Jewish history, holidays, and traditions.

Why do random Jewish holidays keep springing up unexpectedly? Why are yarmulkes round? Who was the first Jewish comedian? What's "Christian humor" and have you ever even heard of that phrase? Who is "the Golem" and whom do you want it to beat up?

These baffling questions and many more are answered by comedy legends Dave Barry, Adam Mansbach, and Alan Zweibel, two-thirds of whom are Jewish. In A Field Guide to the Jewish People the authors dissect every holiday, rite of passage, and tradition, unravel a long and complicated history, and tackle the tough questions that have plagued Jews and non-Jews alike for centuries.

Combining the sweetness of an apricot rugelach with the wisdom of a matzoh ball, this is the last book on Judaism that you will ever need. So gather up your chosen ones, open a bottle of Manischewitz, and get ready to laugh as you finally begin to understand the inner-workings of Judaism. More »
