Seder PlateEggs-elent Eats
We look beyond matzo brei and dyed eggs. Chefs/restaurateurs Carrie Levin and Peter Hoffman join pastry chef Francois Payard for a discussion about Passover and Easter food. Then Mark Dunn explains his unusual new novel, Ibid: A Life. It purports to be a biography of a three-legged man, Jonathan Bashette, and it takes the form of a collection of footnotes. And actress/playwright Lisa Kron and director Leigh Silverman on their new play, now at the Public Theatre.
Carrie Levin, Francois Payard and Peter Hoffman
Carrie Levin has been running the Upper West Side’s Good Enough to Eat for more than twenty years, and Francois Payard, of Payard Pâtisserie and Bistro, is one of New York’s best pastry chefs. They are joined by Peter Hoffman, chef and owner of Savoy Restaurant. They're here to talk about the food of the season.
