Join us for this program as we get to know Beth A. Lee, author of the newly released book entitled The Essential Jewish Baking Cookbook: 50 Traditional Recipes for Every Occasion. In preparation for Hanukkah, Lee will teach us two ways to make Sufganiyot, the jelly donuts traditionally eaten during the Jewish festival of lights. We’ll also talk about Beth’s life, her transition from working in silicon valley to working with silicone baking mats, her food blog OMG! Yummy and what exactly brought her to write this book.

About the Author

Beth A. Lee grew up on the East Coast before moving to Northern California, far away from the traditional Jewish food she was raised on. She attended the University of California, Berkeley, where she received a degree in business and pursued a marketing career in Silicon Valley.

In 2010, Beth realized she preferred pita chips over computer chips and launched her food blog, OMG! Yummy. Through her blog, she reconnected with her love of cooking and her passion for documenting her family’s multicultural food traditions.

Beth has been featured in the New York Times and the San Jose Mercury News and has been a frequent contributor to Edible Silicon Valley magazine. She also co-leads a popular virtual cooking group, Tasting Jerusalem, focused on Middle Eastern cuisines and ingredients.

Beth is so glad she can make a New York-style bagel in her sunlit kitchen in Northern California.
