Interactive Cooking Experience With Kosher Chef Paula Shoyer

Internationally acclaimed Kosher chef and baker, Paula Shoyer, will conduct an interactive cooking experience on Thursday, March 4 at 7:30 p.m. Sponsored by Congregation Beth Israel in Scotch Plains, this virtual event is open to the community.

Paula Shoyer is a French-trained pastry chef who teaches cooking and baking classes around the world. Her recipes have been featured in newspapers, magazines, websites, blogs and on radio and television shows across the country. Her latest cookbook, The Instant Pot Kosher Cookbook: 100 Recipes to Nourish Body and Soul, was recently published in 2020 and is the first Instant Pot cookbook to feature kosher food. Paula’s previous cookbooks include: The Kosher Baker; The Holiday Kosher Baker; The New Passover Menu; and The Healthy Jewish Kitchen.

Paula will demonstrate how to cook recipes from her new Instant Pot cookbook while participants cook alongside her via Zoom. Attendees do not need to have an Instant Pot to participate; recipes can also be made on the stovetop. Attendees can also just watch the demonstration without cooking.

“We are so excited to welcome Paula Shoyer back to our community, this time virtually” said Marcia Wiener, event chair at Congregation Beth Israel. “We had a blast cooking with her when she visited us a few years ago. Paula’s cookbooks, with their delicious and innovative recipes, have become staples in Kosher homes.”
