How Jewish Food Infiltrated The Mainstream
There’s a Chinese restaurant on every corner of New York City, followed in short order by a Mexican, Thai and Asian one. So why aren’t there more Jewish restaurants? Are there any foods that are indigenous to the Jewish people? Do the immigrant roots of Jewish food make it less appealing to the culinary avant…

Where Does Your Falafel Come From? An Interview With Celebrity Chef Adeena Sussman
Celebrity chef Adeena Sussman recently moved to Tel Aviv after years of working her food magic in New York. I sat down with her this past week to talk about Chrissy Teigen, Israeli food versus American food, and how to eat more adventurously. “My move to Israel drove me to understand what Israeli food means,”…

How Instagram Became The Biggest Source Of Shabbat Dinner Anxiety
Recently, I decided to drop out of all my food-based Facebook groups — there are only so many pictures of homemade macarons with perfect “feet” I can take without feeling bored. I love to cook—and eat—but when I prepare a perfect batch of challahs, my first impulse is not to take a photo and post…

Speedy, Spicy Seder
Whenever I attempt to put a fresh twist on a Passover Seder — eschewing brisket for something lighter, faster and more modern — I watch the faces of my children fall.

An Entire Meal Composed Of Hamantaschen? Sign Us Up!
Everyone likes hamantaschen, but could you consume a holiday meal composed solely of these tasty, somewhat historically inaccurate treats? That is the challenge I took from Breads Bakery’s Purim offerings this year. The raw material was certainly there, from their savory offerings to their sweet to their ultra-sweet.

10 Last Minute Mishloach Manot Ideas
Purim is noisy, rowdy and ultimately delicious. We shout and stomp our feet and crank our graggers. We eat, we drink and we make merry — we must, it is one of the mitzvahs of this holiday! In my opinion, no other Jewish celebration is as much fun. But there’s a more serious and heartwarming…

When I opened the carefully packaged bottle of Tubi 60 with my colleagues, we were all a bit skeptical, to say the least. It was cloudy, yellow — and it smelled like trees. Upon first sip, an (of-age) intern compared the taste to “being dragged through a wind turbine…in a good way.” “It’s a powerful…
