One of my faves. But I also grew up in rural NJ and love leather gloves.

Whenever I was fortunate enough to spend time w/ Cara Da Silva, we laughed and talked food history. She was warm and generous. I read β€œIn Memory’s Kitchen” on the bus to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 2016. It’s one of the most important books in my library. z”l

Long Live the Hot Dog of the Sea Bouncy, savory, and sometimes sweet, fish balls can shape shift from a creative filling to a crispy fried snack.

Love the exploration of the fish cake across global cuisine by @cathyerway for @taste. Glad I could add a few insights into my "hot dog of the sea" heritage.

Meet the artisanal gefilte fish purveyor who wants you to eat more vegan food - Jewish Telegraphic Agency The founder of the Gefilteria sees his new project as part of a broader trend toward what he calls β€œplant-forward” eating.

When worlds collide. Thanks, @JTAnews @shirahanau for covering my new plant-forward venture @orderpapaya.
And wouldn't you know it, my interest in elevating plant-based dining has roots and connections in my family, as well as Jewish food history.

The extent of the previous admin’s efforts to attack immigrants is horrifying.

This article sheds light on traumas immigrants faced & policy changes attorneys fought for 4 yrs (& all the work ahead of them & Biden admin).

Couldn't be more excited to discuss Chinese food, Jews, and Christmas with @mofad and the great @hannaraskin @stirfrygrace and more.

It's extra important this year to recognize the role Chinatown and Chinese businesses played in shaping my favorite American Jewish tradition.

fyi @gefilteria's gefilte fish is still available in select stores in NY & Boston if you'd rather kick it old school with a gourmet twist.

Gefilte Fish Had A Surprise Ingredient In The 1960s: Canned Tuna Gefilte fish can be made from fresh fish or frozen fillets. It's sold in jars at the supermarket. Turns out, there's one more version. It might make you laugh β€” or go "yuck."

It may be hard to get fresh fish for homemade gefilte fish this year. Well, the 1960s has you covered: canned tuna gefilte fish. Last year, @NPRFood interviewed me for this story & we had a laugh. Now it may be the Passover dish for the moment.

Also disturbed by the graphic depiction of the coronavirus as a matzo ball in broth chosen for the announcement. Though perhaps its an apt symbol of the times.
