Latkes!
Taught by Emilie Friedman
Emilie Friedman realized she wanted to be a chef while traveling through organic farms in Spain, Italy and France. There she learned basic growing practices, specifically related to heirloom varieties of vegetables. When she returned to NY, she studied at The French Culinary Institute, concentrating in local, vegetable driven cuisine. She currently works as a private chef, and especially enjoys teaching private classes on how to use local vegetables, and create small gardens in your own urban space.

To celebrate the first night of Chanukah, we'll cook up everyone's favorite deep fried food: potato latkes! To go alongside, we'll also whip up a batch of homemade applesauce, then snack on our feast and play lots and lots of dreidel. Don't worry, there will be plenty of gelt. To add some variety, we'll also make celery root and sweet potato versions of the traditional latke.
