Nach Waxman (1936-2021) founded the bookstore Kitchen Arts and Letters (KAL) in New York City in 1983. It quickly became a crossroads for researchers, writers, chefs and home cooks alike. They came in search of what would grow to be nearly 13,000 titles from around the world, from cookbooks to food histories. They also benefited from Nach's expansive culinary knowledge. Trained as an anthropologist, and a former editor with publishers such as Harper & Row and Crown, Nach had a nimble mind and generous spirit. He introduced people to books and to one another as well: many professional collaborations, not to mention lifelong friendships, began at KAL. He was also a great home cook, who was famous for his versions of traditional Jewish dishes. This event is an opportunity for those who knew him to express our appreciation for him, and for members of the public and The New School community to learn about his life and work.
Participants include Dan Barber, Darra Goldstein, Anne Mendelson, Cindy Pawlcyn, Stevie Pierson, Laura Shapiro, Rien Fertel, New School Food Studies faculty member Andrew Smith, and many others. The event will be introduced by Dr. Kristin Reynolds, Chair of Food Studies within the Bachelor's Program for Adults and Transfer Students in the Schools for Public Engagement at The New School.

The New School’s Bachelor's Program for Adults and Transfer Students reflects the goal of lifelong higher learning articulated by the founders of The New School in 1919. In 1943, The New School began offering a bachelor's degree program for adults to address the educational needs of returning WWII veterans. Today, we continue to dedicate ourselves to that mission in a program that offers exceptional services and an innovative curriculum to nearly 1,000 adult students in New York City and online.
Committed to amplifying diverse voices, The New School offers more than a thousand public programs and events each year, providing fresh perspectives and unique learning opportunities. These lectures, exhibitions, concerts, and performances feature prominent and emerging artists, activists, and thought leaders.
