As a child, Rachel Almeleh learned to cook family recipes passed down through generations of her Sephardic ancestors. Today, she shares those recipes with others through her Seattle-area business, Rachel’s Sephardic Delicacies, and in her new cookbook A Legacy of Sephardic, Mediterranean, and American Recipes. Filled with how-to-photos, tips, and recipes for Jewish holidays, American holidays, and everyday meals and treats, the book brings Sephardic cooking—along with the legacies and traditions behind it—to life. Joining for a reading and signing, Almeleh will share her collection of nurturing and delicious recipes with us.
