Passover Cooking in the White House

On the way to the Passover cooking demo
with president of the Jewish Museum of Maryland,
Duke Zimmerman, and  others

I was really honored to be invited to the White House yesterday for a pre-Passover cooking demonstration with Joan Nathan and the WH Pastry Chef. Samples were abundant. The National Endowment for the Humanities and Jewish Museum of Maryland (which has an exhibit funded by NEH now on display about Jewish foodways) cosponsored the event with the White House Office of Public Engagement.

Read reporter Vered Guttman’s article from Haaretz to learn more about the afternoon. It was thrilling to have a content rich event in the President’s House – at least his office building b/c we were in the Old Executive Office Building!! Have a wonderful Passover.
