On Sunday, November 8, from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM, Carol Becker, owner of William Greenberg Desserts, will join an author talk and brunch at 4 Community Road, Marblehead, Massachusetts, to discuss her cookbook, William Greenberg Desserts Bakes Vegan. Tickets are $45, and the morning includes brunch, desserts, a book sale, and a signing.
Carol will be in conversation with Lilly Tapper, owner of Three Hundred Fifty Bakery in Swampscott, about the story behind the book: how a bakery founded in 1946 on kosher tradition came to reimagine its classic recipes without dairy or eggs. For Carol, the standard was simple. If a recipe was going to carry the Greenberg name, it had to be every bit as good as the original.
The Marblehead Current named the event one of the town’s best bets this month. Carol has been sharing the book with audiences across the country, including at the NW Ohio Jewish Book Festival.
