Gwyneth Dishes on Her New Cookbook
Gwyneth Paltrow, the svelte Oscar-winning actress who is famous for her kale-detox regimens, has written a cookbook (that’s part Jewish, nonetheless). While this sounds like the last thing I would add to my kitchen bookshelf, famed food critic Jeffrey Steingarten assures readers of this month’s Vogue cover story that “Her knife skills put mine to…

Leak-Free Tomatoes On Way To Israel
Sliced tomatoes get thrown onto sandwiches, burgers and salads, but they have a damp little secret: They leak. The goop that drips out of tomatoes makes bread soggy and takes the crisp right out of lettuce, but — starting next month — Israelis won’t have to put up with it anymore.

Jewish-Style Deli Not So Jewish
David’s Brisket House in Brooklyn sounds like your archetypal New York Jewish deli. Its website features a nearly pornographic shot of luscious pastrami on rye with sliced pickles.
