Sydney Cookbook Launch – Food and Stories from Australia’s Indian-Jewish community

Don't miss the Sydney launch of Elana Benjamin's new cookbook, Indian-Jewish Food Recipes and Stories from the Backstreets of Bondi.

Tea, coffee and a selection of kosher biscuit samples from Elana's cookbook will be available on the day, as well as the opportunity to buy signed copies of the cookbook.

What is Indian-Jewish food? And what makes it unique? Join author Elana Benjamin in conversation with foodie Lisa Goldberg as they talk about Elana's new cookbook. Don't miss this opportunity to deep dive into the spice-infused cuisine and little-known stories of India's Baghdadi Jews who immigrated to Australia - including Elana's family.

‘An alluring, beautifully-spiced and mouthwatering journey, sharing a unique Jewish culture.’

LISA GOLDBERG, MONDAY MORNING COOKING CLUB

'Full of robustly researched and beautifully written memories and explorations of Jewish cuisine in the subcontinent.'
