"How often are you curious about striking up a conversation with the people sitting right next to you in a restaurant, but you just don't know how to approach them? At the Traveling Palate it's easy, and a great way to try different cuisines at the same time!" —Dafna, Traveling Palate Guest As a native New Yorker, Jennifer knows how much people in this big city love to try new and exotic foods. But what she found often missing was the means to really meet and have a good conversation with someone you didn't know while out in a restaurant. "I came up with the idea of the Traveling Palate as a way of combining my love for travel, food, and culture," says Jennifer, with the desire to meet new and interesting people. In 2004, Jennifer joined forces with her good friend Beebe, owner and designer of Tribeca's Kiva Café, where the two of them have been serving up delicious dishes from all over the world ever since. In Kiva's intimate setting, guests can easily mingle, network, and socialize in a friendly atmosphere, while dining on delicious and unusual tastes that they might not find in one restaurant alone (even in New York). Indeed, no cuisine is too exotic for the two of them: "We've done Nigerian, Hungarian, Australian, Ethiopian, Brazilian, Syrian, Turkish, and even one called 'The Stans,' sharing tastes from Paskistan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Last year a former Traveling Palate guest from Denmark returned as a guest chef to share Danish cooking. Next we're traveling to Georgia—as in the 'Republic of'—not the state!" smiles Beebe. So sign up for the Traveling Palate, and let Jennifer and Beebe be your tour guides. It's an affordable and convenient way to travel right in the neighborhood, where you can learn about a new culture and cuisine, and who knows? You m (Oh— and don't forget to bring your passport!) |

| Do-It-Yourself Family Cookbook:
Teleconferencing Seminars & Discussions Having written, illustrated, and published my own family cookbook, many people come up to me during my cooking classes and demos to ask how I was able to start and complete such a project. As a result I have decided to create the following phone seminars to help others launch and complete their very own cookbook. Each session will start with guidance and suggestions, based upon my own personal experiences of writing a family cookbook, and continue with a discussion among all those attending to share their experiences, suggestions, and support. Register for all 4 sessions or just the ones that you find most suitable. To get the most of your family cookbook, arrange a private consultation with me!
