The Common Table: Stories of Community from The Urban Forager: Culinary Exploring & Cooking on L.A.’s Eastside.

Join cookbook author Elisa Callow and moderator Leslie Ito and many of the food makers and food suppliers highlighted in The Urban Forager whose commitment to carefully sourced and crafted food has led to a supportive and growing community of women in food.

The Urban Forager will be available for sale and signing by the author before and after the presentation. 

Post presentation, join Elisa and food makers for tastes and products highlighted in The Urban Forager cookbook.

Here is one of Elisa’s favorite non-fiction books, authored by Elizabeth Wayland Barber,

Women’s Work: The First 20,000 Years

The ephemeral nature of women’s “work”: cloth, and of course food production means less awareness of its essential contributions to culture and society. 

Our panelists:

Leslie Ito, Executive Director of the Armory Center for the Arts

Leah Ferrazani - Owner, Semolina Artisanal Pasta

Mary Aghoian with her husband Abraham. Mary’s journey to Pasadena originating in Syria is a story of resilience and honoring of culture through food and family.
