For the past 20 years, Paula has traveled the world doing baking and cooking demonstrations for synagogues of all types, Chabads, schools, Federations, JCCS, local and national organizations and others in Washington, DC, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Texas, Arizona, Michigan, Oregon, Connecticut, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Idaho, New York, Florida, New Jersey, Missouri, California, Massachusetts, Ohio, New Hampshire, Maryland, New Jersey, Toronto, Israel and China just to name a few locations, before audiences from 30 to 250 people.
NOW, Paula is doing virtual events and attracting as many as 600 people to an event. Events can be paced as a demonstration and cover several recipes, or a cook- or bake-along and attendees prepare the food and desserts at the same time as Paula. For more details about themes for classes, click here.
At all events, Paula will share her personal story about how a lawyer became a pastry chef and got published, tell funny and inspiring stories such as how she came to bake in her grandparents’ former house, how to make traditional Jewish dishes healthier, and explain how she wrote a cookbook to cope with loss. She includes meal planning, finding substitutions and preserving ingredients and other issues unique to being at home more and bringing groceries in. Paula always includes a spiritual and inspirational message about healing through food.
Paula will also sell, sign and ship books after the event and often partners with charities who receive a portion of her book sales. Paula is available all year round and gets booked up quickly before the major Jewish holidays. Message her here to inquire about a community building event for your group.
