Tonight Tina Wasserman will explain just what makes foods Jewish

​Dallas-based cookbook author, lecturer and cooking instructor Tina Wasserman (her latest book is Entree to Judaism: A Culinary Exploration of the Jewish Diaspora) will be in Kansas City today to teach a master class in Jewish cooking (it sold out almost immediately) and to present a lecture titled “What Makes Food Jewish” tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center, 5801 W. 115th Street in Overland Park. And yes, there are still seats available for the lecture.

Wasserman says that the answer to what makes food Jewish is relatively simple.
