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. Brisket is their favorite; brisket, apparently, is forever. I’ve never attempted to host a Seder without matzo ball soup, but it’s no secret that…

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. A three-course hamantasch dinner was surely a…

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…

Should You Give Tubi 60 A Shot This Purim?
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…

The Secret Jewish History Of Pancakes
The pancake is an ancient, primal delicacy that has traversed the globe and inserted itself into many a culture, from Danish to Roman to Jewish.

Rolled Beef, A Lost Jewish Delicacy
A deli delicacy that is facing extinction, rolled beef is relatively unknown, even among many Jewish communities. Its near demise is no surprise: The cost of making this pastrami-like item is high, while the demand for it is low.
