Celebrating Latkes Cookbook

MAE MAE’S BEET LATKES from Mae Mae Cafe

Mae Mae Cafe, Great Performances’ own cafe, is famous for its use of beets. From beet chips to a delicious beet burger (which you can find on our catering menu), we’re not shy about our love for beets. These beet latkes bring together the best of beets and latkes.
