Since the outpouring of Valentine’s Day sentiment falls this
year on Shabbat, Westminster’s Temple Beth David intends to combine the two
with a special sisterhood-led service that follows a dinner featuring recipes
by food writer Sharon Boorstin.

Boorstin will also speak about “Memories to Nosh On,” how
food and celebrations are staple ingredients in building bonds among friends
and families.

Dinner will include soup, chicken, stuffing, vegetables,
dessert and wine. The menu and stories are excerpted from Boorstin’s book, “Let
Us Eat Cake: Adventures in Food and Friendship” (Regan Books, 2002), which
features autobiographical stories, such as the outcome of the “husband-catcher
cake,” and celebrity vignettes such as Wolfgang Puck’s crispy matzah.

Boorstin was featured in November at the Jewish Community
Center’s book festival. “I was really impressed with her,” said Melanie Alkov,
religious practices chair of Beth David’s sisterhood, who expects about 50
diners.

Dinner costs $10 and begins at 6:30 p.m. at 6100 Hefley St., Westminster. Reservations should be made by Feb. 7 by calling (714)
897-0230.
