Welcome to the Jewish Cooking Connection, a new monthly cooking show presented by the Jewish Federation of the Greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys' Cultural Arts Program. One of the things that connects Jewish people is food! Wherever Jews have lived in the world, local cuisine was adopted and adapted to Jewish holidays and traditions and to comply with Kosher dietary laws. This resulted in amazing cuisine—rich in flavor, variety, and versatility.

During our Cooking Connection series, we will travel around the greater San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, going inside home and temple kitchens and sharing a wide variety of Jewish foods from our talented Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Mizrahi cooks and bakers. Our first series will focus on specific foods for Jewish Holiday celebrations.

We hope you will enjoy learning more about our fabulous international Jewish cuisine and seeing some of your friends and neighbors share their favorite family recipes and the stories behind them.

We will post each recipe—complete with nutrition information—and show videos here. We hope you will often visit our webpage to see what’s new and share your thoughts and ideas. 

This is another excellent opportunity to connect with the broader Jewish community through something that is of interest to everyone. Because, really, who doesn’t like to eat?
