Jennifer Abadi

Jennifer Abadi wrote and illustrated her cookbook-memoir, A Fistful of Lentils: Syrian-Jewish Recipes from Grandma’s Fritzie’s Kitchen (now in its third printing in paperback), and currently assists others in writing and preserving their own family recipes. Four years ago she created “The Traveling Palate,” a monthly event where guests enjoy a series of food tastings while learning about less-common cuisines and cultures in an intimate café setting. Jennifer teaches a six-week course entitled, “From Culture to the Kitchen: Three Jewish Cuisines,” where she examines the geographical, social, historical and traditional influences that shaped Moroccan-, Syrian-, and Indian-Jewish cuisines, then gives students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with these foods by partaking in a full hands-on cooking class. She teaches in such professional cooking schools in New York City as The Jewish Community Center (JCC), and the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE), as well as privately in individual homes. Her area of expertise covers a range of cuisines, such as Syrian, Indian, Moroccan, Iraqi, Egyptian, Yemenite, Persian, Greek, Armenian, Georgian, and Turkish, all of which she can customize to your needs. Jennifer is also an active member of The New York Women’s Culinary Alliance as well as ChefsLine.com.

A Fistful of Lentils: Syrian-Jewish Recipes From Grandma Fritzie's Kitchen

This is the first book on Syrian-Jewish cooking, a cuisine featuring meats simmered in spices, vegetables stuffed or roasted, sweet and sour sauces, lemony dressings, and rich sugar-dusted pastries. Including all the classic dishes and four generations of one family's favorites, this delightfully personal book is a complete exploration of Syrian-Jewish history, culture, family, and food.
