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. Photograph by Yishai Margulies In preparation for Hanukkah, I had my heart set on creating the ultimate gluten-free and vegan sufganiyot — doughnut holes digestible to all.

Photographs courtesy of the Jewish Whisky Company. I’m not a big whisky drinker. I’m especially not a whisky drinker at 11:30 in the morning on a workday.

Toronto’s New Schmaltz Appetizing Is Modeled on the Classics
Schmaltz Appetizing’s bagel with whitefish salad. Photographs by Caroline Aksich, Toronto Life Anthony Rose swears this was the original tagline for Schmaltz Appetizing, his new Toronto fish emporium: “We cater the beginning and the end — the bris and the shiva.” The joke is typical Rose.

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.

Our British-Canadian-American (Jewish) Thanksgiving
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.
