coming events CHEF ALON SHAYA
James Beard Award winner Alon Shaya will speak about his debut cookbook, Shaya: An Odyssey of Food, My Journey Back to Israel. This is no ordinary cookbook; it’s a book that tells of how food saved his life. These are stories of places, of people, and of the food that connects them, a memoir of one man’s culinary sensibility, with food as the continuum throughout his journey– guiding his personal and professional decisions, punctuating every memory, choice, every turning point in his life. They are interspersed with glorious fullcolor photographs and illustrations that follow the course of all the flavors Shaya has tried, places he’s traveled, things he’s experienced, lessons he’s learned--more than one hundred recipes--from Roasted Chicken with Harissa to Speckled Trout with Tahini and Pine Nuts; Crab Cakes with Preserved Lemon Aioli; Roasted Cast-Iron Ribeye; Marinated Soft Cheese with Herbs and Spices; Buttermilk Biscuits; and Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Whipped Feta. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 14 7:00 PM | UPTOWN JCC FREE AND OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY
THE PICKLE RECIPE
Comedy | English | 97 minutes The king of Detroit’s Jewish party scene, Joey Miller finds himself down on his luck and deeply in debt after a freak accident totals his prized sound equipment. In dire need of help to pay for his daughter’s upcoming bat mitzvah, Joey turns to his shady uncle Morty, the black sheep of the family. Morty agrees to loan the money if Joey will do the unthinkable: steal his grandmother’s closely guarded pickle recipe. Against his better judgement, Joey sets out on a misguided mission, with the help of a fake rabbi, to gain the trust of Grandma Rose, infiltrate her popular deli, and secure her priceless recipe for the scrumptious dills. Of course, nothing goes as planned. As endearing as it is funny, The Pickle Recipe equally imparts laughs with a heartwarming metaphor about the people and memories that comprise the special ingredients of family, however dysfunctional. MONDAY, APRIL 30 7:00 PM | UPTOWN JCC FREE AND OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY
