NOV 29 THURSDAY Jeff Oliver, Developer of Cutthroat Kitchen, Shares His Hilarious Novel The Two-Plate Solution: A Novel of Culinary Mayhem in the Middle East 11:30 am - 2:00 pm • Hilton Naples Sponsored by Women’s Cultural Alliance The Two-Plate Solution: A Novel of Culinary Mayhem in the Middle East is a laughout-loud culinary adventure featuring a diverse cast of chefs in a high-stakes TV cooking competition set in Israel. Although the plan was to bring in “fake terrorists” as the culinary foes to spice up the action, actual terrorists show up on the set, and the producers must scramble to integrate them into the competition – or risk death. Mysteries deepen, romance blooms and chefs cook for their lives in this delightful novel. Jeff Oliver is Vice President of Current Production at Bravo and a former executive at Food Network, where he developed the hit series Cutthroat Kitchen, and worked on such culinary hits as Cupcake Wars, Worst Cooks in America and The Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia. He is the author of the acclaimed novel Failure to Thrive. $36 • includes luncheon No tickets sold after Monday, November 26 This event includes a preview of upcoming Jewish Book Festival events, with drawings for tickets, books and more!

A Spotlight Event Featuring Author Jamie Bernstein Famous Father Girl: A Memoir of Growing Up Bernstein 7:00 - 9:30 pm • Hilton Naples Sponsored by TheatreZone, Dr. Barrett Ross Ginsberg and Steinway Piano Gallery The oldest daughter of revered composer/conductor Leonard Bernstein offers a rare look at her father on the centennial of his birth in a deeply intimate and broadly evocative memoir. In Famous Father Girl, Bernstein mines the emotional depths of her childhood, and invites us into her family’s private world. A fantastic set of characters populates the Bernsteins’ lives, including the Kennedys, John Lennon, Mike Nichols, Jerome Robbins, Richard Avedon, Stephen Sondheim and Lauren Bacall. The memoir is an intoxicating tale and an intimate meditation on a complex and sometimes troubled man, the family he raised, and the music he composed that became the soundtrack to their entwined lives. Deeply moving and often hilarious, Bernstein’s beautifully written memoir is a great American story about one of the greatest Americans of the modern age. Jamie Bernstein is a writer, broadcaster and filmmaker. She travels the world as a concert narrator. Her documentary Crescendo: The Power of Music is available on Netflix. $39 in advance • $45 at the door • includes beverage and light snacks during book-signing reception Lou Cove Man of the Year 10:00 am - noon • Unitarian Univ. Cong. Sponsored by Naples Jewish Congregation Jamie’s passages will be brought to musical life by a singer and pianist performing several Leonard Bernstein hits. 1978 promised to be another year of dislocation for 12-year-old Lou Cove, the eighth move in his short life. His free-thinking Jewish family had just left New York behind for working-class Salem, Massachusetts, a town not far evolved beyond the witch trials that made its name – hardly the place for a long-haired Mets fan on the cusp of his Bar Mitzvah. And that was before the arrival of Howie Gordon: actor, artist, hippie, lover and Playgirl’s Mr. November. Howie has Hollywood ambitions and a highly unorthodox idea for achieving them: be named Playgirl Man of the Year, 1979. When he enlists Lou as his “campaign manager,” the unlikely duo embarks on a quest to win the hearts and minds of the witches and wharf rats of Salem. Man of the Year is the improbable true story of Lou’s 13 th year, one very unusual campaign and the unexpected guest who taught him how to be a man. A fresh twist on the coming-of-age memoir, yes, but also a tale of lost innocence. Lou Cove is an author and a fundraising advisor. He has raised more than $70 million, mostly for Jewish causes. Lou is Senior Advisor at the Harold Grinspoon Foundation and PJ Library, and was Executive Director of Reboot, a think-tank and incubator for modern Jewish culture, and Vice President of the National Yiddish Book Center. $10 in advance • $15 at the door includes light brunch during book-signing reception DEC 18 TUESDAY DEC 19 WEDNESDAY
