The 6th annual Jewish-food celebration Beyond Bubbie’s Kitchen, presented by New Center NOW, will take place at Boston’s Back Bay Events Center this Sunday, March 1.
As in past years, many of the city’s best chefs will come out to put their own modern twists on traditional Jewish dishes. According to Sara Bookin-Weiner, manager of outreach at Boston’s New Center for Arts and Culture, a major goal of the event is to “encourage the best chefs in Boston to use their imagination in a Jewish way.”

This year’s list of 20 chefs is the longest yet. “We’ve never had more than 15 different chefs in the past,” Bookin-Weiner told the Forward. “This year we have new people, from hot restaurants like Catalyst, State Park and The Dining Car.”
Another addition to the celebration this year is an oral-history project called “Kitchen Conversations.” Local station WBUR’s Karen Given and Andrea Shea will host a booth where those attending the event can share their own stories and memories about food.
Beyond Bubbie’s Kitchen celebrates Jewish culinary traditions, but Bookin-Weiner emphasizes that people of all ages and backgrounds will enjoy themselves. “You don’t have to be Jewish to attend — you just have to have functioning taste buds.”

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
