Guttman will demonstrate how to cook some traditional Iraqi Jewish foods – first tasted in the kitchen of her own Iraqi Jewish grandmother. After the demonstration, enjoy a feast of Iraqi flavors. All food served in observance of dietary laws.

Vered Guttman has been writing a food column for Israel’s daily newspaper, Haaretz, for the last six years, focusing on Israeli and Jewish food. She also writes the Ethnic Market Scout series for the Washington Post Food Section.

Vered is also a chef and caterer specializing in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines and working in the Washington DC area.

Growing up in Israel, Vered took her first steps in Jewish cooking sitting at the table of her two grandmothers, one from Poland, the other from Iraq. To these traditional Jewish flavors, she later added the wonders of Israel’s modern fusion kitchen to create new Israeli-inspired recipes.
