[RE-BLOG] Food Studies Program’s November “Food and the Public” Event Features Panel “Remembering Nach Waxman”

On November 15th the Food Studies Program’s second Fall 2021 event “Remembering Nach Waxman” brought together the wife and children of Nach Waxman in conversation with six culinary leaders to discuss Waxman’s life and contributions. Waxman founded the bookstore Kitchen Arts and Letters (KAL) in New York City in 1983, and it quickly became a crossroads for researchers, writers, chefs and home cooks alike. Patrons came in search of what would grow to be nearly 13,000 titles from around the world, from cookbooks to food histories.
