Reviews:
"We had the pleasure of hosting Anna Kharzeeva at the Sydney Jewish Food Festival as a keynote speaker, and we were thoroughly impressed.
Anna is a professional, approachable, and knowledgeable presenter who blends culinary expertise with rich social and cultural insights. Throughout her demonstration, Anna simultaneously guided the audience through the cooking process of various dishes while sharing fascinating details about the history and cultural significance behind each one.
Anna also weaves sustainable cooking practices into her approach to cooking, and actively engages with the audiences, encouraging meaningful conversations around the topic.
We highly recommend Anna as a facilitator, teacher, or speaker for your next event.
Shalom Collective, in person cooking demo
I've continued to see/hear great feedback about your talk so thank you for being part of the program. I must admit I have a craving for Russian salad after seeing your photos - so might have to make some soon!
Past to Apron, zoom talk and cooking class
Bonnie and Anya, thank you very much for joining us today! This conversation was a highlight of the gathering! Lots of our residents go through this search of who they are, if they should love or reject certain parts of their identity and it is always so important for them to hear that these sides can be living together in harmony and that their RSJ roots can bring them a path in life. And in general it is such a pleasure to hear an inspiring RSJ story!
Personally, it was also a treat - I love to hear stories of Belarus!!!
Anya, thank you for being such an amazing facilitator.

Tailor made workshops, demos and talks
I love developing new educational ideas, so if you're planning an event and think you'd like a talk about something along the lines of food, social history, psychology or writing, give me a call!
I'm also happy to talk my experience of immigration, from the loss of leaving, to keeping the connection to roots going, and to creating a new home.
