cathy: i've got a little more information, and an important CORRECTION on the joan nathan event. it is going to be starting at 7:30, not 6:30, and a better number for people to call to reserve a space is tammy at 847-272-4772. for non-temple members, there will be a charge of $7.50, to cover the cost of the food we will be sampling that evening from nathan's latest cookbook.
i'll find out more specifics about timing in a week, but the temple also needs a few people to come in the morning to prepare the dishes (nathan will not be there).
the new cookbooks is called, "quiches, kugels and couscous: my search for jewish cooking in france", and will be sold at the event. i love nathan's books and am very excited about this event. i've reserved a space and suggest that those wanting to attend do the same. i'd be surprised if it doesnt sell out. justjoan
