22nd annual NH Jewish Food Festival will be Sunday, July 14

LACONIA — The New Hampshire Jewish Food Festival at Temple B’nai Israel, 210 Court St., will be on Sunday, July 14, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Diners from all over New Hampshire and beyond will come to enjoy traditional Jewish cooking, delicatessen features, desserts, and more.

TBI’s crew of women and men have been gathering to plan and prepare the recipe selection, as well as participate in dozens of cooking and baking sessions in the temple kitchen. Committee Chair Stu Needleman said, “Our cooking teams have prepared hundreds of servings of the most delectable foods. We have purchased, cooked and hand sliced nearly 200 pounds of everyone’s favorite meats and baked dozens of varieties of cakes, cookies and other deserts. But no matter how much we have, everything goes quickly.” 

Along with homemade food, the festival features corned beef, pastrami and tongue from Evan’s New York Style Deli in Marblehead, Massachusetts. TBI volunteers will bring the meats up to New Hampshire. New for 2019, bagels will be available for purchase. TBI has partnered with locally owned and family run Winnipesaukee Bay Gulls, located in Gilford and Moultonborough.

During the festival, a selection of food will be available for lunch. There will also be a limited supply of traditional foods to take home. With questions, contact foodfestival@tbinh.org.
