Create a Meal

Welcome to Tina’s Kitchen

Mulligatawny

Dear Friends,

Happy New Year! I hope your year is filled with joy and successful creative pursuits; especially in the kitchen!

The year has started off great but we have seen more below freezing days and snow than I can ever remember this early in the year. All the more reason to focus on wonderful hot soups and stews.  The first request from my daughter when she came home from college for winter break was her favorite Mulligatawny Soup.  Warming, filling soup that can be served over rice to make a complete meal.  Perfect for cold days and tight budgets!

Exciting news about my book Entree to Judaism; it was listed as #7 on the Washington Posts 2009 Gift Guide for Cookbooks.  Thank yous go to all of you who have made this book so successful that we are focusing now on a second printing in just 2 months!

The best part about writing the book is the opportunity it has given me to visit so many wonderful parts of the country and meet the nicest people one could ever hope to meet.  From Nashville to Toledo, Louisville to Indianapolis, I have been blessed with great audiences and new found friends.  And the excitement continues!  Please see the list below and come and meet me if you are in the area. I am still available for speaking engagements and classes in your hometown for 2010-2011 so contact me if you would like to discuss some options for your organization.

If I’m not coming to you then listen to my appearance on local NPR station KERA to hear me talk about the history and stories in Entre’e to Judaism.
