Kitchen Conversations: a documentary film by Dhera Strauss starring local cooks
Wednesday, November 10, 2:00pm & 6:30pm

This film focuses on women at least half a century old who invite us into their kitchens and prepare a recipe that reminds them of their family. As they roll out pie dough, fry tempura, or assemble tamale pie, they reflect upon food, lives lived, and lessons learned. This new documentary reminds us that our memories and our taste buds are often stirred together. Meet and talk recipes with the cooks in the film and the film maker, Dhera Strauss. Snacks will be provided by Sarkozy’s Bakery. No registration is required. The cost is $3.00 at the door.
