The Story of Chicago's South Asians and Their Food Colleen Taylor Sen Chicago has the country's third-largest urban population of South Asians (a community that includes Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Nepalis) – and a vibrant South Asian food scene. Colleen Taylor Sen will tell the story of this community from the early 20th century when a small community lived on the Far South Side to the present. She'll also talk about the evolution of the city's South Asian grocery stores and restaurants, including the transformation of Devon Avenue on the Far North Side from a mainly Jewish shopping district in the 1960s to a mecca for South Asian shoppers from all over the Midwest. Today, Chicago's Indian food lovers can enjoy a wide range of cuisines from the simple fare of taxi drivers' "dhabas" to a Michelin-starred temple of cuisine. Biography: Colleen Sen has presented many programs before the Culinary Historians of Chicago. A prolific author and editor, she has contributed free-lance articles to such publications as Travel and Leisure, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Chicago Tribune, and was a regular participant in the Oxford Symposia on Food and Cookery. She has written eight books, among them Food Culture in India, Curry: A Global History, and Feasts and Fasts: A History of Food in India. In 2017 Colleen coedited The Chicago Food Encyclopedia. Her books have been translated into Arabic, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. She has also organized many culinary tours of Indian stores and has given talks and cooking demonstrations on Indian cuisine.

But what about Chicago-style BBQ? From Rib tips to Hot Links to Mild Sauce and more, Chicago Chef and Pitmaster Dominique Leach of the Black-Women-Queer-Owned and award-winning restaurant Lexington Betty's Smokehouse, plus the 2023 winner and the current reigning “MASTER OF ‘CUE” of the Food Network's Hit Show BBQ Brawl , is making it her mission to further define this unique style and put it on the map in 2024.

The Delmonico Way Max Tucci From Scott Warner, President, Culinary Historians of Chicago I just couldn't pass it up. When I attended the International Association of Culinary Professionals Conference in New York this past September, one limited-seating event had me signing up immediately: an historic dinner in the board room at Delmonico's, hosted by third generation partner and global brand officer, Max Tucci. Max regaled us with the luscious history of what is widely recognized as America's first fine dining restaurant, that began in 1827 in Manhattan as a small cafe and pastry shop. It was opened by Italian-Swiss immigrants, the brothers Giovanni and Pietro Delmonico. Ten years later, in 1837, they moved nearby to what is still Delmonico's present location at 56 Beaver Street — in the heart of Manhattan's financial district. The rich, powerful and famous frequented the eatery. Fast forward 100 years, to 1926, and Italian immigrant Oscar Tucci (Max's grandfather) buys Delmonico's, opens a speakeasy in the basement, continues attracting celebrities and world leaders (i.e.,Elvis, Jackie Kennedy Onassis, Marilyn Monroe, Richard Nixon) and institutes many of the professional restaurant standards in use today, known as the Delmonico Way. During the height of the Tucci era, Delmonico's, with its many rooms was considered the largest restaurant in the world. (63,000 sq. ft.) One of the lush private dining rooms included an en suite bedroom — if only the walls could talk! Delmonico's is also credited with being the first U.S. restaurant to use white tablecloths, and the creator of Delmonico steak, Eggs Benedict, Baked Alaska, Lobster Newberg and the Wedge Salad. So do join us as Max Tucci takes us on his personal tour of his beloved Delmonico's. Max has also captured his family's legacy in his book, The Delmonico Way. Sublime Entertaining and Legendary Recipes from the Restaurant that Made New York! (Rizzoli).

Much ado about masalas—a deep dive into Indian Cuisine Come join us as a maven of masala, Nandita Godbole, explores India's complex and delicious regional cuisines through its culinary backbone – its masalas (which, by the way, are a vast number of spice mixtures ground into a paste or powder for use in Indian cooking). Nandita will be dishing out a buffet of savory information on the micro cuisines of India, giving us a healthy serving of geopolitical histories that have shaped regional food identities. And she'll liberally season her talk with her own culinary anecdotes. Nandita is drawing her story from her newly published, seventh cookbook, Masaleydaar: Classic Spice Indian Blends. She says it's her “love letter” to the micro cuisines of India, The book explores nearly 50 spice blends and offers more than 100 recipes. Our own Culinary Historians member, Colleen Sen, an internationally renowned Indian authority herself, wrote the forward to the book. She calls it “a brilliant culmination of a lifetime of research, practice, thinking and talking about Indian food, an encyclopedia of information about spices and Indian food in general that can serve as a valuable reference work.” Nandita Godbole: instagram: @currycravings My Website: www.currycravingskitchen.com Instagram (food): www.Instagram.com/currycravings Instagram (ceramics): www.Instagram.com/Mrttika_bynandita Digital book is available on Kindle: https://bit.ly/3EhhwJw GooglePlay/Android: https://bit.ly/3Pk039W iBooks: https://bit.ly/45tPh6p Print books can be purchased directly from my website: www.currycravingskitchen.com/inventory I have uploaded the presentation itself into Google Drive, it is here: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1tbjdZy-HQEvon7vWYV4G6JKAtCNbCkSP/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=109443269166842455632&rtpof=true&sd=true Recorded via Zoom on August 30, 2023 CONNECT WITH CULINARY HISTORIANS OF CHICAGO ✔ MEMBERSHIP https://culinaryhistorians.org/membership/ ✔ EMAIL LIST http://culinaryhistorians.org/join-our-email-list/ ✔ S U B S C R I B E https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Y0-9lTi1-JYu22Bt4_-9w ✔ F A C E B O O K https://www.facebook.com/CulinaryHistoriansOfChicago ✔ PODCAST 2008 to Present https://culinaryhistorians.org/podcasts/ By Presenter https://culinaryhistorians.org/podcasts-by-presenter/ ✔ YOUTUBE https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6Y0-9lTi1-JYu22Bt4_-9w ✔ W E B S I T E https://www.CulinaryHistorians.org

Bio: Cheryl Leutjen's deep love of Earth, as well as her hope for a bright future for her children, fuel her passion for responding to the challenges of our time with heart, hope, humor, and spiritual practice. Cheryl writes and speaks to share her experiences on the razor's edge between Earth-mindfulness and eco-madness, not because she's got it all figured out, but in solidarity with anyone else who's fumbling along the path of more conscientious living. She draws from her experience as a geologist, attorney, small business owner, spiritual practitioner, wife and mother to claw her way out of the abyss of eco-despair. She seeks solace from the sages in Nature who reveal the wisdom she needs to navigate a more Earth-loving path. Cheryl credits the Modern Day Priestess training with Reverend Kate Rodger, steeping in ancient wisdom ways for practical use in the modern world, for inspiring the spiritual growth that now guides her “Love Earth” work. She resides in Los Angeles, where she takes copious yoga classes, digs up the yard and throws a lot of darts as therapy. She facilitates the Natural Muse Meetup for Earth-loving writers. She serves as Vice-President of the Board of Directors of the North East Trees nonprofit organization, “bringing Nature back” to nature-poor communities around Los Angeles County. Her book, Love Earth Now, won a 2018 Silver Nautilus Book Award.

About the Sour Dough Library The future of Bread lies in its past, a tour in the only sourdough library Bread! It feeds, it crackles, it breathes. When you bite into it, you dive into a wealth of heritage and a whirlwind of a story written with only a few basic ingredients. Flour, water, fermentation, and time. Over 250 generations of bakers like you have kneaded their hearts and their souls into these breads and made it their own. New recipes, new ingredients, and a string of baking techniques have all strived for one thing: to bake the best possible bread. In the sourdough library we are collecting and preserving this unique heritage from the past. About the Sour Dough Librarian Karls Bio: For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a baker-confectioner. After graduating in 1988 from the bakery/confectionery school in Brussels, I worked for six years as a patissier in a bakery in Brussels. In 1994 I started to work for Puratos as a test baker in the lab. That's when I encountered the very first sourdough in my life and baked my very first sourdough bread. Since then I have worked in different departments as a technical advisor, product, training & communication manager. In 2013 we inaugurated our sourdough library. The first and only of its kind in the world. As the sourdough librarian I am on a quest for sourdough. Preserving biodiversity for the future and sharing insights into this century-old baking tradition is what I like most about what I do today.

But, while it's true my cooking skills were practically non-existent, I always loved to eat delicious food. That interest in good food slowly became an obsession. I started cooking more, ripping out recipes in magazines, taking recreational cooking classes, refusing to vacation anywhere that didn't have food worth eating, and learning kitchen secrets from my Italian mother-in-law. Then, when my child was born I picked up a whisk and never looked back. I made homemade baby food and, soon, earned a culinary arts degree from the Institute of Culinary Education in New York City. In the summer of 2008 I launched Rosaberry, a culinary services company devoted to helping New York families eat better through culinary instruction and personal chef services. And now, after several years as food editor at Parents and Health magazines, I'm the food director at Real Simple. I've appeared on the Today Show numerous times demonstrating kid-friendly recipes. My first two cookbooks Real Baby Food: Easy All-Natural Recipes for Your Baby and Toddler and Smoothie-licious: Power-Packed Smoothies and Juices the Whole Family Will Love were released in 2015 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. My third book, Baby-Led Feeding, debuted in March 2018, and The Multi-Cooker Baby Food Cookbook launched in November 2019. My latest cookbook, Bare Minimum Dinners, was released in September 2021. (Bio Provided by Jenna Helwig) Through my books, blog, magazine writing, and video I'm excited to continue helping families eat easily, happily, and deliciously.

Bio: Hi, I'm Emily. Growing up in suburban NJ, there were plenty of good bagels around. But when my father had business take him to the Upper West Side, he would stop by Zabar's for lox, sable, whitefish, and chive cream cheese, and H&H for bagels, which we would have as a special treat. These bagels were on a whole different level of unique deliciousness. After moving away, I would look forward to possibly having them when visiting home. And then one day I learned that they had gone out of business, and I was deeply upset. I took this news like the death of a loved one I just hadn't been in contact with in a long time, and grieved, and said I didn't want to let those bagels cease to exist. And so I embarked on what became my five-year quest, through trial and error, to create a bagel I longed to eat.
