Classic German Cooking by Luisa Weiss: Cooking Demonstration & Book Launch

Join us for a special culinary evening celebrating the launch of Classic German Cooking by acclaimed food writer Luisa Weiss, author of Classic German Baking and My Berlin Kitchen. 

On Friday, Nov 1, Luisa Weiss will guide us through a live cooking demonstration, bringing the cozy, comforting flavors of German and Austrian home cooking to life. Afterward, Luisa will be joined by Chicago food writer and blogger Tim Mazurek, creator of Lottie + Doof, for a lively discussion and book launch celebration.

Discover the humble charm of classic German cuisine, renowned for its ability to comfort, nourish, and bring joy to any table. During the cooking demonstration, Luisa will show you how to prepare beloved traditional dishes such as Maultaschen (dumplings with meat and spinach) and Apfelküchle (apple fritters), while sharing personal stories and the rich history behind these timeless recipes. 

After the demonstration, Tim Mazurek will join Luisa for an exclusive discussion about her latest cookbook, Classic German Cooking, launched just three days prior to our event. Together, they will talk about the inspiration behind the book, its collection of over 100 essential recipes, and the enduring influence of German and Austrian culinary traditions. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions, engage in the conversation, and take home your own signed copy of the book.
