Testimonials
"It was great to have you back here to give one of your programs. You did a great job in creating “Peachy-Keen, Peaches in New Jersey”. Your talk was very interesting and your display table was beautiful. You always do a wonderful show by paying attention to all the details. Your costumes, your displays, and your presentation of amazing amounts of factual information in a very interesting way is just wonderful."
"Thank you for your thoroughly entertaining and informative lecture The History of English Tea. …The audience seemed to be enthralled with the program as well judging from the thought provoking questions they asked and the positive feedback I received. Many people commented on your extensive knowledge of tea and they appreciated your humorous anecdotes as well."
I attended the Asian Tea Experience, led by Judith Krall-Russo at the Upper Shores library on May 16, 2023,
and came away with a far greater knowledge of teas! Her knowledge and enthusiasm for her topic is amazing and
so well presented. Since then, I have expanded my horizons into trying more types of teas and enjoying them!
Thank you, Judith.

Judith Krall-Russo is perennial favorite at the South River Public Library. Over the years we have offered
programs by her on tea, local produce, and various holidays. Most recently, we offered a lecture on Eastern
European Food Traditions. Wow! What a draw. Our meeting room was packed! We even had patrons who had
moved out of town come back home to take part in this presentation.
A seasoned speaker with a wealth of knowledge, an easygoing yet engaging manner; I cannot recommend Judith
highly enough!

I have had the good fortune to attend many of Judith Krall Russo's programs.
The varied topics keep me coming back for more! Her vast knowledge, engaging presentation style and the
intersting props & visual aids she brings all add up to a wonderful educational & entertaining time-without fail.
If that wasn't enough, Mrs. Krall Russo's monthly newsletter is a gem! It is full of tips about area happenings that
would be of interest to lovers of food history & food.
