Santa Cruz Is Introduced To Kosher Food — And It’s Unlike Any You’ve Ever Eaten
What do you get when you mix a kosher food wasteland, a Nigerian convert to Judaism and vegan cuisine? No, that isn’t the set-up to a bad joke: Nigerian-born Akindele Bankole just opened the only kosher restaurant in Santa Cruz, California, a vegan eatery called Veg on the Edge. According to an article by Alix…

Toronto Food Fest Shows Can-Jew Attitude
Pickles and pastramis. Borscht and bourekas. Latkes and lox. Toronto’s rocking Jewish food scene was the star of the second-annual Noshfest, which took place on an unseasonably warm Canadian Thanksgiving, Monday, October 9. More than 1,500 locals packed a midtown arts center to meet the machers and mavens of Can-Jew cuisine. “We wanted a fun…

Kosher Winery And Vineyards Scorched By Raging California Wildfires
The raging wildfires that have left a trail of destruction across northern California’s wine country have been fickle when it came to kosher wineries. One vineyard, Hagafen Cellars, sustained serious damage. The other, Covenant Winery, was largely spared by the devastating blazes that have killed at least 15 people and driven thousands from their homes….

Gal Gadot Tries Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups For The First Time — And It’s Adorable
Last Thursday night, Gal Gadot made a pre-SNL appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” After she and Fallon talked about her major motion picture success and her upcoming first appearance on SNL, the conversation turned to more pressing matters: chocolate.

Recipes Spectacular Stuffed Cabbage, Revisited for Sukkot
The list of foods I don’t like is short. And today it got even shorter, because today I gave stuffed cabbage a second chance. My maternal grandmother often made this Ashkenazi classic, and as a kid I found the sweet-and-sour flavor of the sauce utterly objectionable. While everyone else at the table seemed to relish…

Recipes Spicy Stuffed Peppers for Sukkot
Moving from Yom Kippur straight into Sukkot, I started to think about what to cook, of course, and checked a few books and online references for inspiration. Stuffed vegetables are de rigeur — they symbolize the hope for plenty during the harvest period — and being reminded of this, I thought of a crowd-pleasing recipe…

Recipes 11 Of The Best Stuffed Dishes For A Plentiful (And Delicious) Sukkot
Sukkot isn’t just a festival that resembles glamorous camping, or “glamping,” with its abundant (sometimes too abundant) meals in a hut. It’s also a holiday that happens to coincide with the harvest season. Like Rosh Hashanah’s reliance on symbolic foods to guarantee a new year, Sukkot has some symbolic foods of its own: Stuffed dishes,…

Yotam Ottolenghi’s New Dessert Book Has The ‘Sweet’ Smell Of Success
A new book by Yotam Ottolenghi is cause for celebration. And when the book in question, from the author of such wildly popular cookbooks as “Plenty” and “Jerusalem,” comes out with a tome devoted entirely to dessert, well, it almost feels like we should declare a holiday. Not a national one, mind you, but one…

Recipes Cinnamon Pavlova, Praline Cream And Fresh Figs
This is a stunning dessert for a special occasion. It also has a nice element of surprise, as the meringue base is not quite what you might expect: gooey — almost toffeelike — rather than dry and crispy. This is due to the brown sugar in the mix. Combined with the praline cream and fresh…

Recipes Blackberry And Star Anise Friands From Yotam Ottolenghi
These friands, little French cakes whose elegance and svelteness somehow betray quite how much (burnt) butter is built into their being, look splendid when iced — destined for top ranking on any tiered cake stand — but also work with no icing, in the cookie jar, for grabbing on a whim. They’ll lose their slightly…

Yes, Ham Glaze Is Kosher, And It’s Certified By The OU
The Internet was abuzz today when someone posted an image to the “Judaism” subreddit of an OU-kosher-certified ham glaze from Boar’s Head. The prohibition against eating pig is one of the most well-known of the laws of kashruth. Every Jew, kosher-observant or not, knows this. Every Muslim, who are also barred from eating pig, knows…
