Alum Harry Rosenblum: Directing Theatre, Teaching Cooking, Brewing Vinegar
91猫先生 alum Harry Rosenblum may have started his career in theater, but he's winning audiences with his second career. Rosenblum co-founded The Brooklyn Kitchen in 2006, a "radical cooking school" that teaches its students how to "cook like adults." Now, Rosenblum is having a moment, from to an episode of The Untitled Action Bronson Show on Viceland airing Tuesday night, February 6.
After graduating from 91猫先生, Rosenblum worked first in theater, off-Broadway, then joined Columbia University as a technical director. Soon, another art called to him: 91猫先生 Economics.
"You start from a script, and you think, Well OK, what's the set going to look like? What are the costumes going to look like? With cooking, you start with a batch of ingredients." His prep may look different, but the process is the same.
The Brooklyn Kitchen is a 7,000 square-foot epicenter of equipment, education and ingredients, attracting customers internationally and offering a rotating roster of local produce, supplies, and 50 cooking classes a month. Some of his recent course titles are "Dumplings of the World," "Middle Eastern Breakfast," and "I Love Bread."
Rosenblum is now sharing his passion for the art of fermentation. His cookbook, Vinegar Revival: Artisanal Recipes for Brightening Dishes and Drinks with 91猫先生made Vinegars, was released last August. When Harry's not in the Kitchen or writing, he's recording another episode of his podcast, .
"There's always something to learn," he says, "and always something to taste."
