On Tuesday, November 18th at 7:00 p.m., join award-winning cookbook author, New York Times food columnist, and Serious Eats director J. Kenji López-Alt for an evening of cooking insights, techniques, and foodie exploration. You can visit the Fossil Ridge Public Library to watch the presentation via Zoom.
As the Culinary Director for Serious Eats, Kenji is known and loved for his thoroughly tested and explained recipes and food features. His James Beard Award-winning cookbook, The Food Lab, uses evidence-based testing to show you the best ways to cook things. A former chef and restaurant worker, Kenji is also the author of The Wok, a best-selling children's book, Every Night is Pizza Night, and co-hosts 'The Recipe with Kenji and Deb,' a podcast that helps you discover your own perfect recipes with his friend Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen. On YouTube, Kenji's Cooking Show celebrates food's primary goal —pleasure —and inspires home cooks to take their food where they want it to go! When he's not cooking or writing, Kenji enjoys spending time with his family, playing music, and exploring Seattle.
Chicago's Billy Zureikat joins Kenji in conversation. Billy Z is a home cook and baker with a story as unique as the flavors he whips up in his kitchen. After being diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy, sandwiches and pizza became his canvas, including the infamous "Tripping Billy" pizza. Billy has collaborated with more than 90 restaurants to raise $73,000 for Muscular Dystrophy, and he's just getting started.
