Leah Koenig’s newest cookbook, ‘Portico: Cooking and Feasting in Rome’s Jewish Kitchen’ brings classic fried artichokes and apple fritters for Hanukkah.

YIVO is offering a series of courses, including the rich and delectable "A Seat at the Table: A Journey Into Jewish Food," with an appearance by Adeena Sussman.

Leah Koenig goes big with her latest cookbook, including favorite classics, forgotten one-time classics and standouts from diverse Jewish cultures.

Koenig expands the Jewish palate via inclusivity, honoring traditions unfamiliar to many English-speaking Jews while carving out space for iconic American sweets.

Classic recipes from around the Diaspora that have been reworked to impress modern guests. Standouts include a vegetarian moussaka and seeded schnitzel.

You will treasure Leah Koenig's 26-recipe tribute to Jewish first courses and party snacks culled from around the world.

Many of the "modern" adjustments in author Leah Koenig's new cookbook are subtle, but the results to classics like roasted chicken, schav and gefilte fish are revelatory.
