Ethical Jewish Food Dominates the Conversation at 2nd Gefiltefest
The Garden of Eden was a milchig, or dairy paradise, and so it was that Gefiltefest, the second annual Jewish food festival, followed suit. At the festival on Sunday, a dog woke up from a quick schluff in the sunny patch beside his rabbi’s chair to find that he might have summarily been made a…

What’s for Dinner? Tackling Jewish Guilt at the Dinner Table
A Jewish mother buys her son a red shirt and a blue shirt. He puts on the red shirt. “What, you didn’t like the blue one?” We all know this classic stereotype of Jewish guilt. But, today’s Jewish mom guilt comes in a different form. We don’t make others feel guilty — we are busy…

National Deli Summit Talks How To Save the Deli
People don’t talk about “delis” anymore. They talk about “Deli,” the culinary genre under threat of extinction — one that a few chefs are fighting to bring back.

When Pigs Fly: Firing Up the Grill at a Kosher BBQ Competition
The team on our left decorated its booth with a bull’s head with tefillin wrapped around the horns. The team on our right was anchored by a 6 foot 4 guy named Roger who helped us pass the night with tales of cooking “whole hogs”. My team, representing the borough of Brooklyn in Alabama —…

Shabbat Meals: Family Just Tastes Different In Israel — Spiced Moroccan Fish
I’d usually get the call on Thursday night or Friday morning from my Israeli relatives Ariella and Yehudit. “Come over for Shabbat,” they’d say to me, not asking so much as insisting. With family in Israel, I found, there’s no need for prior notice or formal invitations to a meal. Family, like everything in Israel…

Kitchen Talk With Yaron Milgrom of Local: Mission Eatery

But Milgrom’s road to San Francisco restaurateur certainly is out-of-the-ordinary. Milgrom moved from New York to California in 2008 for his wife’s medical residency. At the…
