Sisterhood Event – Spice Up Your Passover Traditions!
March 23 @ 11:30 am - 12:30 pm
Haroset Around the World with Bonnie Benwick (and Susan Barocas)
From Morocco to Turkey, Ethiopia to Iraq, learn about and taste haroset from around the world. We’ll explore the many varied ingredients and spices of haroset plus fun ways to spice up your seder.
UPDATE: Our presenter will be Bonnie S. Benwick! Bonnie will demo the charoset recipes originally planned by Chef Susan Barocas. Bonnie worked as a journalist in the DMV for four decades, much of which was spent at The Washington Post. During her Food section tenure, she wrote the “Dinner in Minutes” column and other recipe-related features, and ran the test kitchen. She edited The Washington Post Cookbook: Readers’ Favorite Recipes (2013). As a freelance editor and recipe tester, Bonnie is now involved in cookbook production, and teaches classes at the Hill Center (Capitol Hill). She also serves as honorary chair of Tzedek DC’s annual Eat Well Do Justice chefs’ competition, and co-chairs the Hesed Cooking committee at Adas Israel.
Plus, have you ever wondered what makes wine Kosher for Passover? Our wine expert, Shoshana Danon, will answer all your questions and introduce us to the wide world of Passover wines including how the choices grew from traditional Manischewitz options to the vast variety of Passover wines today. Shoshana Danon is a WSET Level 3 certified wine consultant for KosherWine.com — an advanced level qualification for professionals working in the wine industry.
We will have an opportunity to sample both 4-5 haroset recipes and Kosher for Passover wines. All participants will leave with a copy of the recipes to try out yourselves and a list of reasonably priced kosher wines.
