Join cookbook author Elisa Callow and the chefs (From left: Minh Phan, Jack Agohian, Masako Yatabe Thomsen, Rumi Mahmood, Mario Rodriguez) who are the heart and soul of The Urban Forager: Exploring & Cooking on L.A.’s Eastside at Vroman’s Bookstore. The Urban Forager showcases one of California’s richest and most rapidly expanding culinary cultures: the eastside of Los Angeles. Food makers representing the eastside’s diverse traditions share beloved personal recipes, ingredients, innovations, and neighborhood resources. Moderated by our own community treasure Val Zavala, the event will feature food and family stories, food tips, and tasty bites from the pages of the cookbook.
