Can't beat the Beet! with Alissa Timoshkina & Anna Kharzeeva

Can’t beat the beets!

A cooking class and a conversation with Alissa Timoshkina & Anna Kharzeeva

In this interactive and informal (but very informative) session, Alissa Timoshkina is joined by food writer and historian, Anna Kharzeeva, to talk all things beetroot! A quintessential ingredient of Eastern European cooking, the humble beetroot opens the door on a fascinating history of Ashkenazi cuisine. Interweaving personal and social histories of life under the Soviet regime, Alissa and Anya share family recipes and discuss how a single ingredient can be imbued with so much cultural, social and historical significance. Expect heart-felt stories, practical cooking tips and delicious, accessible family recipes!


You will receive a class handout with recipes and a zoom link upon booking. A recording of the class will be made available afterwards, so please consider booking even if you can’t join the live zoom session.


All proceeds go to the #CookforUkraine fundraiser.
