Join us on YouTube Live for a free virtual talk and food demo with Leah Cohenauthor of Lemongrass and Lime: Southeast Asian Cooking at Home. After working in Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, including Eleven Madison Park, and graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, celebrated Chef Leah Cohen was searching to define what made her food hers. Seeking inspiration for her first solo restaurant venture, Leah headed-out on an extended trip throughout Southeast Asia, exploring Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Growing-up half-Filipina, Leah found her true passion during this trip. Further tapping into her mothers’ heritage, she was determined to bring the flavors and techniques she learned to her first restaurant, the acclaimed Pig & Khao, located on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.
