  • Wednesday, January 13, 10:00 am – Celebrate What Unites Us! French Dinner Party with Catherine Katz, Online

    Join Age-Friendly Boston, Oldways, and Friends of Armenian Heritage Park on January 13 at 10 am for a free special at-home Celebrating What Unites Us! program to keep us connected and coming together. This session will feature French dinner party recipes from Chef Catherine Katz of Cuisinicity. Celebrating What Unites Us! celebrates the immigrant experience while building community and cross-cultural understanding, and promoting healthy living. We are looking forward to resuming the two part program that begins at the Park when it is safe to do so. The program is free, but registration is required at www.armenianheritagepark.org.

    Catherine is a French-born-and-raised foodie, and lover of luscious cuisine. But she also a scientist, earning her PhD in neuroscience at Princeton University. So, when her husband David presented her with the challenge of his very demanding nutrition standards, we realized that his passion for health and my love of French cooking also needed to be wed! And so our “marriage” of priorities resulted in 20 some years of methodical experimentation – but in a warm, lively home kitchen, rather than any neuroscience lab.
