From Bubbe’s Kitchen: Chicken Paprikash
I had a beautiful Hungarian grandmother, born Erzsébet Weisz and redubbed Elizabeth Weiss when she and her parents and brother and sister moved to New York from Miskolcz in the 1920s. I called her Nana and she called me darling. (It sounded like dahhrrlink, as if spoken by a brainiac Zsa Zsa Gabor.) Nana said…

Vibrant Tel Aviv Food Scene Set To Vanish As Africans Face Deportation
Anwar Mohamed beams as he sets down a yellow-and-white speckled plate of ful, stewed fava beans redolent of hard-boiled egg and salty cheese — and reminiscent of simpler times. The heaping plate, from a Sudanese eatery near Tel Aviv’s old central bus station, is a working man’s breakfast at a working man’s price, a rarity…

Why The Original Treyf Banquet Backfired
BOSTON (JTA) — In an article written for J: The Jewish News of Northern California and republished by JTA, David A.M. Wilensky describes with gusto the supposedly mouthwatering delicacies, including Peanut Butter Pie with Bacon and Pulled Pork Potato Kugel, consumed this month by “rabbis and foodies” at the Trefa Banquet 2.0 in San Francisco –…

I Ate A Crab Knish While Talking Treyf At Jewish Banquet
“Am I a bad Jew?” I ask myself, finishing off a third miniature bacon-peanut butter pie. I might, under other circumstances, be able to brush the feeling of guilt away. But the bacon pie is just one of many treyf (Yiddish for non-kosher) bites I have delighted in tonight. I have happily scarfed down pulled…

Enjoying ‘Rugelach By A Brother’ On MLK Weekend
Happy to wake up to clear blue skies Saturday morning, and with the long Martin Luther King Day weekend before me, I decided to take Leo the Labradoodle on a proper walk around my Central Harlem neighborhood (as opposed to the corner-and-back approach we took in the rain on Friday).

City Girl Coffee Brews Up Equality
With its ultra-timely mission around opportunities for women, Minnesota’s City Girl Coffee might seem like it sprung up as a caffeinated version of #TimesUp. But founder Alyza Bohbot had been thinking about gender disparity long before the current reckoning and last week’s Golden Globes. In fact, the seeds of her game-changing brand got planted nearly…

Recipes Easy, Aromatic Turkey-Chickpea Stew
This fragrant, soul-satisfying dish is fast enough to make on a weeknight. If you don’t have lemongrass, don’t sweat it — the ginger, garlic and spices make it flavorful enough, though lemongrass does add an herbal-meets-citrus element that’s like nothing else.
