This summer, Holocaust Community Services launched a delicious new initiative that aims to document history, bridge generations, and build community, all while creating a special Survivor Cookbook.
Our programming kicked off in August with a pickling event that harnessed the bounty of seasonal produce and the expertise of Survivor Vilya, a design engineer from Latvia whose passion for cooking evolved into a second profession. Vilya led groups of Survivors step by step through his process to pickle cherry tomatoes, demonstrating how to create his “working mixture” from garlic and dill and use his customized jar lid for straining the pickling brine. Afterwards, each attendee made their own jar of pickled cucumbers, based on a recipe shared by Maya Gumirov, Survivor Services Director, and several Survivors brought written pickling recipes to distribute to the group.
The mood was convivial and the resulting snacks were salty, crunchy, and flavorful! We’re already looking forward to the next “Cooking Up Memories” gathering.
We invite any Survivors interested in future programs or sharing a recipe to contact us at hcs@cje.net.
