Watchung Booksellers Hosts Shuka Chef Ayesha Nurdjaja for Launch of "Mediterranean All the Way"

Watchung Booksellers welcomes chef Ayesha Nurdjaja for the launch of her cookbook, Mediterranean All the Way, on Wednesday, Oct 21 at 7:00 p.m.

In her debut cookbook, the powerhouse chef behind Shuka and Shukette, Ayesha Nurdjaja, serves up over 120 seasonal, flavor-packed, Mediterranean and Levant–inspired dishes that she brings to her hit restaurants. These foolproof recipes let peak-season produce steal the show. No fussy steps, no endless ingredient lists—just big herbs, bold spices, and plenty of sauces to swipe, drizzle, and drag your bread through.

A James Beard Award Finalist for Best Chef, Nurdjaja has been a Titan on Food Network’s Bobby’s Triple Threat, with one of the strongest win records in the history of the show. She is the executive chef and partner at Shuka, the Eastern Mediterranean restaurant in SoHo, and Shukette, its faster, looser, louder sister restaurant in Chelsea, which has been on The New York Times 100 Best Restaurants in New York City list three years in a row.

Tickets include a signed copy of Mediterranean All the Way. Purchase tickets at watchungbooksellers.com.
