Comforting Global Desserts with Margaret Boyle| Tues. February 10, 2026

Warm up the winter season with comforting global desserts in this hands-on cooking class with Margaret Boyle. Together, we’ll prepare rich, fudgy tahini brownies and a creamy, cinnamon-laced arroz con leche, a classic rice pudding beloved across generations and borders. Along the way, Margaret will share stories of food, history, and memory from Sabor Judío: The Jewish-Mexican Cookbook (UNC Press). Participants will leave with recipes, new skills, and plenty of inspiration to bring sweetness and warmth to their own kitchens.

Margaret is Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures and Latin American, Caribbean, and Latinx Studies at Bowdoin College. Her teaching and research explore Hispanic women’s literary and cultural history, health humanities, and food traditions. She is the founder of Multilingual Mainers, an elementary world languages and cultures program.
