Is Marmite Kosher? Well, Yes and No
It was certainly one of the stranger Jewish conversations I have had. (Mind you, I have had many.) There I was in Oxford after a hearty Sabbath lunch, walking in the beauty of Christ Church Meadow, chatting with a new friend about food. At a moment, he turned to me and said, “You said you’re…

A Hanukkah Shidduch: Doughnut, Meet the Latke
A happy Hanukkah mistake becomes a delicious breakfast.

An Indian-Jewish Homecoming at NYC’s Haldi
Photographs by Sigal Samuel Taking my first bite of bamia kuhta at Haldi, Manhattan’s new Indian-Jewish restaurant, I registered a surge of spiciness — and of guilt.

Thinkstock Growing up in Montreal and Toronto respectively, neither my husband nor I celebrated Canadian Thanksgiving. According to my parents, it was a Christian holiday.
