During the Wednesday, February 8, event at The Mount Sinai Hospital, Dr. Kini prepared Indian dishes such as gobi masala and yellow dahl, made with lentils and flavored with turmeric and ginger, and Dr. Oliver shared a Mediterranean dish of salmon with broccoli and roasted cherry tomatoes over quinoa. Ms. Maksoud said the event showcased the “rich cultural aspects” of Mount Sinai: “We all came from someplace else at one point. We brought many traditions with us and should celebrate those traditions every day.”
