Join us for a heartfelt conversation and discover the stories, memories, and flavours behind this moving culinary memoir.

About the relationship between food and family, sustenance and survival, from Bonny Reichert, award-winning Canadian journalist and daughter of a Holocaust survivor.

Bonny Reichert avoided everything to do with the Holocaust until she found herself, in midlife, suddenly typing those words into an article she was writing. The journalist had grown up hearing stories about her father’s near-starvation and ultimate survival in Auschwitz-Birkenau, but she never imagined she would be able to face this epic legacy head on.

Then a chance encounter with a perfect bowl of borscht in Warsaw set Bonny on a journey to unearth her culinary lineage, and she began to dig for the roots of her food obsession, dish by dish. "How to Share an Egg" is a journey of deep flavors and surprising contrasts.
