Mayim giving insight on a recipe at last night’s dinner at Mowhawk Bend Restaurant in Los Angeles, CA
It was a 4-course vegan meal. Before every meal was served, she would talk a little bit about the course and her inspiration for it or whatnot. The first meal was a Matzoh ball soup, which I believe she said was a comforting food and something she ate a lot of after her car accident. The second course was a rainbow cabbage salad with tahini-lemon. She talked about trying to get her kids to eat a salad as big as their heads once a day. The festive colors of the salad make it a little easier. The third course was root vegetable latkes with vegan sour cream, vegetable tzimmes, and eggplant and red pepper crostini. She said the latkes are also really good with ketchup. The last course was dessert, a plum and walnut crisp. She talked about how much she loves plums and how her ex mother-in-law has a plum tree in her backyard.
After all the courses, there was a short Q&A section. I knew I wanted to ask her a question mainly because I wanted to thank her for playing Amy, so my hand shot up right away. She looked right at me, said she has a question, and then a guy with a microphone came to me. I told her first off I can’t ask you a question here without telling you how much I enjoy your portrayal of Amy on the Big Bang Theory and thank you for doing so. Everyone clapped and then I asked my question. Are there any recipes that her kids love to eat but she can’t stand? She said her younger son likes to eat a lot of fried foods and that her sons sometimes only want the filling of her Sheppard’s pie recipe.
There was a few other questions regarding raising kids vegan and how she makes it work. At the end she thanked the chef for making her delicious recipes and the Mohawk Bend for inviting her. Very fun and definitely worth the 30 dollars.
