BMH-BJ Women's League Presents: A Morning with Amy Kritzer
Amy Kritzer, the Jewish chef, who wrote the cookbook "Sweet Noshings" will be joining the BMH-BJ Women's League on Sunday, February 10 for brunch and a cooking demonstration. In prepration for the event Amy sat down with us to discuss her background and upcoming trip to Denver.
Tell us a little bit about yourself? I spend my days running the blogWhat Jew Wanna Eat and ModernTribe.com. In my spare time I love traveling, planning theme parties, and hosting dinner parties. I have lived all over from Atlanta to NYC to Austin to San Francisco and now Puerto Rico.
Why and how did you start What Jew Wanna Eat? I started WJWE in 2010 when I was living in Austin and bored at my corporate job. Initially, it was just a fun hobby, but it turned into so much more! I fell in love with blogging and connecting with my readers. Less than a year later I had quit my job to attend culinary school and never looked back. I'll share more at the event!
What inspires your recipes? I get inspired by so many things! My Bubbe's recipes, travel, the seasons, trying new ingredients and reading other blogs. I keep a running list of ideas on my phone. Sometimes I'll see a spice in a recipe or a flavor combination and think I want to use that in a new way. Like I had a lemon lavender cake and thought, that would make an excellent hamantaschen - IT DID!
After creating What Jew Wanna Eat, you started the online store ModernTribe.com. Why are Judaica stores important? My brother and I own the store together (our mom loves this). We actually purchased the store from the previous owner because we saw the need for Judaica and modern Jewish gifts that matched how people celebrate being Jewish today. Items that match their design aesthetic, fun and stylish jewelry and apparel, and excellent customer service. Like a Kate Spade seder plate or bagel earrings. We love working on the store together! Finding and creating modern Jewish products the perfect complement to my modern Jewish recipes.
You do a lot of traveling, what have been some of your favorite places? I love to travel! So hard to pick a favorite. In the U.S. I love New Orleans for the culture and food. I lived in Barcelona in college and have the best memories of my time there, I would love to return.
What are you most excited about during your visit to Denver? I have only visited Denver once so I hope I find time to explore a little. I would love to check out the Red Rocks Amphitheater, maybe go for a hike, and stop by Rosenberg's for a quality bagel!
If you want to meet Amy and learn more about her culinary skills join the Women's League on Sunday, February 10 at 11:00 am. Sign up below or call (303) 388-4203.
