Abe Fisher Hosts Joan Nathan for the Ultimate Jewish Diaspora Dinner

King Salmon Gravlax/Abe Fisher

Renowned cookbook author, New York Times writer, and premiere authority on Jewish cooking in America, Joan Nathan, is coming to Abe Fisher for a special evening of food and conversation on Wednesday, May 17th.

Yehuda Sichel and Joan Nathan/Abe Fisher

It’s not often that a luminary like Nathan comes to town, but Abe Fisher is the perfect place to do it. Nathan’s new cookbook, King Solomon’s Table — her 11th — collects recipes from the Jewish diaspora. Abe Fisher’s concept mirrors this, with a menu that includes culinary touchstones from Jewish communities across the globe from Montreal to Hungary.

Nathan and Abe Fisher chef Yehuda Sichel have collaborated on a special four-course prixe-fixe menu to celebrate Nathan’s visit. Tickets are $90 each (sold in sets of two or four, with three seatings available throughout the evening) and will get you dinner (including tax and gratuity), conversation with Nathan, and a signed copy of her new book.
