Autumn Harvest and Gatherings
|
| In this year’s food series, Autumn Harvest and Gatherings, the Autry
National Center explores the harvest traditions of Jewish, Chinese, and
Native American communities. For as long as people have been working the
ground, they have also celebrated the bounty that the Earth provides.
Every culture celebrates the yearly harvest with traditions and rituals
as unique as the people who create them. A panel of noted chefs and scholars will discuss each topic while guests sample traditional cuisine from across the globe. Catered by the Autry’s master chef, Carolyn Baer of Cheers Catering, each event will provide the aroma, taste, and history of each culture’s cuisine in order to better appreciate our common reliance on the Earth’s harvests. |
| Celebrating Sukkot |
 |
Saturday, September 15, 7–9 pm The Jewish festival of Sukkot is a time to celebrate the Lord’s bounty and remember His protection of the Jewish people as they fled through the desert toward the Promised Land. This event will showcase traditional Jewish foods (non-Kosher), and guest panelists will discuss the dishes as well as the origins, observance, and symbolism within the festival, such as the sukkah, the Four Species, and the chair of the Ushpizin. Panelists include Dr. Robert Kirschner, vice president of special projects at the Skirball Cultural Center, and chef Judy Zeidler, author of The Gourmet Jewish Cook. |
| Mid-Autumn Festival |
 |
Saturday, October 20, 7–9 pm Every fall the Chinese celebrate a harvest festival called the Mid-Autumn Festival (sometimes known as the Lantern Festival). Dating back over three thousand years, it celebrates the abundance of the summer’s harvest and community togetherness. Chinese immigrants brought the festival to America, and it is still celebrated here as well as in Chinese communities all over the world. This event will feature traditional Chinese foods, including the all-important mooncakes. Guest panelists will discuss the origins and mythology behind the festival, similarities and differences in regional celebrations, and its history in America. Panelists include Jet Tila, renowned chef and Asian food consultant, and Dr. Yong Chen, associate professor of history at UC Irvine. |
