SUMMARY:Resistance at the Museum: Arts and Culture during the German Occupation
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \nThursday | January 4 |1- 2 pm PST | In English | Online \nFree for AFdeLA Members \nDuring World War II\, German forces plundered hundreds of thousands of works of art – an estimated 20 percent of all artworks in Europe – from people opposed to Nazi ideology\, including Communists\, Freemasons and\, most prominently\, Jewish families. In Paris\, most of this artwork ended up in the Musée Jeu de Paume – a small museum located within the Jardin des Tuileries. During its four-year tenure as an unwilling repository for the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR)\, an estimated 22\,000 stolen works of art passed through the museum\, where they were either transferred into the Reich\, exchanged with other dealers or destroyed. \nIn this talk\, bestselling author Bryn Turnbull will introduce you to the Musée Jeu de Paume and the astounding impact of the war on France’s art collectors and connoisseurs\, as brought to life in her most recent novel\, The Paris Deception. \nBryn Turnbull is the internationally bestselling author of The Woman Before Wallis. Equipped with a master of letters in creative writing from the University of St. Andrews\, a master of professional communication from Toronto Metropolitan University and a bachelor’s degree in English literature from McGill University\, Bryn focuses on finding stories of women lost within the cracks of the historical record. She lives in Toronto. \nFollow Ms. Turnbull on: \n\nhttps://www.brynturnbull.com/\nTwitter: @BrynTurnbull\nFacebook: @BrynTurnbullWrites\nInstagram: @BrynTurnbullWrites\n\nTo purchase The Paris Deception\, visit Bookshops.org. \n

SUMMARY:Cassoulet Confessions
DESCRIPTION:Register here! \nThursday |November 9 |2 – 3 pm PT|Free |In English |Online \nFree for AFdeLA Members \nJoin us as we talk with Sylvie Bigar\, author of the best-selling memoir\, Cassoulet Confessions. \nCassoulet Confessions is an enthralling memoir by award-winning food and travel writer Sylvie Bigar that reveals how a simple journalistic assignment sparked a culinary obsession and transcended into a quest for identity. Set in the stunning southern French countryside\, this honest and poignant memoir conveys hunger for authentic food and a universal hunger for home. In Cassoulet Confessions\, Sylvie travels across the Atlantic from her home in New York to the origin of cassoulet – the Occitanie region of Southern France. There she immerses herself in all things cassoulet: the quintessential historic meat and bean stew. From her first spoonful\, she is transported back to her dramatic childhood in Geneva\, Switzerland\, and finds herself journeying through an unexpected rabbit hole of memories. Not only does she discover the deeper meanings of her ancestral French cuisine\, but she is ultimately transformed by having to face her unsettling\, complex family history. Sylvie’s simple but poetic prose immerses us in her story: we smell the simmering aromas of French kitchens\, empathize with her family dilemmas\, and experience her internal struggle to understand and ultimately accept herself. \nAward-winning food and travel writer Sylvie Bigar was born in Geneva\, Switzerland\, and lives in New York City. Her writing has appeared widely\, including in The New York Times\, Washington Post\, Food & Wine\, Forbes.com\, Saveur\, Bon Appetit\, Edible\, Departures\, Travel & Leisure\, and National Geographic Traveler. In French\, Sylvie has contributed to Le Figaro\, Histoire Magazine\, Le Temps\, and FrenchMorning.com.

SUMMARY:Organic French Wines
DESCRIPTION:Register here!  \nTuesday | October 3 |10 – 11 am PT| Free | In English | Online \nFree for AFdeLA Members \nJoin us as we welcome Pierre Gastaldello\, French Portfolio Manager of T. Edward Wines in New York\, who will be speaking to us about organic French wines. \nA Bobo wine is a natural wine. Bobo Selection wines are organically or biodynamically farmed\, harvested by hand\, fermented with only indigenous yeasts\, made with nothing added or taken away in the cellar\, and with only the smallest amount (from zero to 40 ppm) of additional sulfites before bottling to ensure a clean\, precise taste.  Launched in 2017 as a distinct branch of the larger T. Edward portfolio\, Bobo Selections was born out of our desire to embrace a larger cause. Beyond the palate\, the wines speak to a sustainable worldview. They fit into a life of transparent\, intentional\, soulful practices and consumption that the farmers embody and that complements T Edward Wines’ own identity. \nFor more information\, visit:\nwww.boboselections.com\nwww.tedwardwines.com

He has appeared on American television and has written for The New York Times\, Food & Wine magazine\,  and other publications. He has authored more than 30 cookbooks\, some of which have become best sellers. Pépin’s 1999 PBS series with his longtime friend chef Julia Child\, Julia and Jacques Cooking at Home\, won a Daytime Emmy Award. He also holds a BA and a MA from Colombia University in French literature. \nHe has been honored with 24 James Beard Foundation Awards\, five honorary doctoral degrees\, the American Public Television’s lifetime achievement award\, the Emmy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2019\, and the Légion d’honneur\, France’s highest order of merit. \nIn 2016\, with his daughter\, Claudine Pépin and his son-in-law\, Rollie Wesen\, Pépin created the Jacques Pépin Foundation to support culinary education for adults “who have been disenfranchised by life\,” with barriers to employment. He has lived in Connecticut since 1975. \nJoin the Federation AF USA to learn about chef’s exceptional career and his philosophy on cooking\, dining\, and entertaining.
