  • Marion: I Travelled from My Home in Toronto, Canada, to Brooklyn, New York, Because of Gefilte Fish
    Marion: I travelled from my home in Toronto, Canada, to Brooklyn, New York, because of gefilte fish. Many Jewish foods are adored and celebrated but gefilte fish isn't one of them. Can two young authors and entrepreneurs restore its reputation? I'm Marion Kane, Food Sleuth®, and welcome to "Sittin' in the Kitchen®". Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz are co-authors of The Gefilte Manifesto and co-owners of The Gefilteria. Their goal is to champion Jewish foods like gefilte fish, give them a tasty makeover and earn them the respect they deserve. I first met Liz when she appeared on a panel at the Toronto Ashkenaz Festival. I knew immediately that I had to have her on my podcast. We talked at her apartment in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Marion: Let's sit down and talk Ashkenazi food - and gefilte fish in particular. I'm going to ask you to introduce yourselves. Liz: My name's Liz Alpern. I am the co-owner of The Gefilteria and co-author of The Gefilte Manifesto. Jeffrey: My name is Jeffrey Yoskowitz. I am the co-owner and chief pickler of The Gefilteria, and I am a co-author of The Gefilte Manifesto cookbook. Marion: You're both Jewish and Ashkenazi. Liz: Yes, we're both of Eastern European Jewish descent. Marion: Gefilte fish - we have to address this matter. I want to read a description of gefilte fish of the worst kind. Quote, "Bland, intractably beige, and (most unforgivably of all) suspended in jelly, the bottled version seemed to have been fashioned, golem-like, from a combination of packing material and crushed hope." Liz & Jeffrey: (laugh) Marion: That's a very unfavorable review of gefilte fish.

At Kyamk, the programme was launched a few years back both on Kotka and Kouvola campuses. Tandem is a method of language learning which takes place through authentic communication with a native speaker – at Kyamk mostly between a Finnish degree student and a non-Finnish exchange or degree student. Practically all who have participated in Tandem have acknowledged how exciting it is to learn about the other student’s culture and language this way, and many have come to realise how difficult it sometimes is to explain certain aspects of their mother tongue. Being a coordinator of Tandem is no less exciting. Meeting happy students who have just encountered new cultures, and reading the summaries of the progress of their tandem studies is often an extremely rewarding experience. In autumn term 2015, we decided it was time to try something new within the Tandem programme.

Without each of your willingness to invite me into your homes and share your stories, this thesis would not have been possible. Kaja, I thank you especially for your continued support and guidance. Next, I want to give a shout-out to my family and friends, especially my fellow thesis writers, who listened to me talk about my thesis constantly and without a doubt saw the bulk of my negative stress reactions. Thank you all for being such a great support system. It is my hope that at least one of you will read this- here’s looking at you, Mom. Third, I would like to thank Professor Waterhouse for sticking with me throughout this entire process. I could not have done this without your constant kind words and encouragement (though I could have done without your negative commentary about Billy Joel). Thank you for making this possible. Finally, I extend the largest thank you to my wonderful thesis advisors, Professor Karen Auerbach and Professor Chad Bryant.
