No matter the weather, I don’t get into an autumn mindset till these two holidays are behind us. I know we’ll be together as a family to break the fast on September 16th. My brothers and I will discuss the quality and availability of smoked fish as we do every year, tell smokehouse stories—my brother Saul went to the smokehouses every week for years and years—and while none of us do that now, we still take a lot of interest in the fish we sell and the fish we eat. Need to turn your Labor Day barbecue into a Erev Rosh Hashanah family dinner? Need help going from summer’s ease to autumn obligations?

  • Jewish Flavour Principles As Culinary 'Midrash'
    Communicating Jewish Identity Through Taste: Jewish Flavour Principles as Culinary ‘Midrash’ Jonathan Brumberg-Kraus Jewish identity and values are communicated through the cultivation of certain tastes. There are Jewish taste preferences, shaped by Jewish historical experience and literary, religious and cultural heritage. They are not absolute, not every Jew has them at all times and in all places, but there are discernibly Jewish patterns of taste preferences for some foods, disgust for others. Indeed, these Jewish taste preferences have been prescribed or encouraged by Jewish religious and cultural traditions, by advocates with a stake in Jewish group identity and the continuity of the Jewish people as a group (e.g. rabbis, teachers, parents, Jewish recipe book writers, chefs, food producers and distributors, and other Jewish political and cultural leaders) – ‘ethno-political entrepreneurs’ in Rogers Brubaker’s term.1 They use taste to communicate Jews’ historical experience and memories of their ancient Near Eastern Biblical origins and terroir, their dispersion among other peoples and nations throughout the world (‘the Diaspora’ or galut [Exile]) and a pattern of collective suffering and ‘redemption’, from the Exodus from Egypt to the Expulsion from Spain, from settlement of Eastern p3 Europe to mass immigration to the US, from the Holocaust to the foundation of the modern Jewish State of Israel. Jewish taste preferences are somewhat akin to what Elizabeth Rozin and John Prescott describe as flavour principles (really more than taste per se, i.e. the combination of certain patterns of preferred tastes, aromas, ingredients, textures, cooking methods, etc., characteristic of different regionally-based ethnic groups).2 The principles can be traced back to sacred texts like the Bible and rabbinic literature that articulate them in religio-cultural prescriptions.

  • MANIFESTO the Gefilte Manifesto Is More Than a Cookbook
    The founders of the world-famous Gefilteria revitalize beloved old-world foods with ingenious new approaches in their debut cookbook. LIZ ALPERN AND JEFFREY YOSKOWITZ are on a mission to reclaim and revolutionize Ashkenazi cuisine. Combining the inventive spirit of a new generation and respect for their culinary tradition, THE they present more than a hundred recipes pulled deep from the kitchens of Eastern Europe and the diaspora community of North America. Their recipes highlight the best of Ashkenazi home and store- front cuisine, tapping into the enduring Jewish values of resourcefulness and seasonality. Drawing inspiration from aromatic Jewish bakeries (Classic Challah with a Marble Rye Twist, Seeded Honey Rye Pull-Apart Rolls), neighborhood delis (Home-Cured Corned Beef and Pastrami, Rustic Matzo Balls, and Old World Stuffed Gefilte Fish), old-fashioned pickle shops (Crisp Garlic Dilly Beans, Ashkenazi Kimchi), and, of course, their own childhood kitchens, Yoskowitz and Alpern redis- cover old-world food traditions, helping you bring simple and comforting recipes into your home. Dishes like Spiced Blueberry Soup, Kasha Varnishkes with Brussels Sprouts, and Sweet Lokshen Kugel with Plums celebrate flavors passed down from generation to generation in recipes reimagined for the contemporary kitchen. Other recipes take a playful approach to the Old World, like Fried Sour Fit Pickles with Garlic Aioli and Sour Dill Martinis. MANIFESTO The Gefilte Manifesto is more than a cookbook. It’s a call to action, a reclamation of time-honored techniques and ingredients, from the mind-blowingly easy Classic Sour Dill Pickles to the Crispy Honey- Glazed Chicken with Tsimmes. Make a stand.

A graduate in architecture from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, he is fascinated by the mazes and mysterious stairways of this impressive building. Hence the cookbook. Ronit Vered Published on Remember me Log in. But with all due respect to seafood and the Mediterranean mezze, nothing beats German, Czech, Russian and Polish food to accompany a drink. Yoskowitz and Alpern grew up eating traditional Jewish foods at home in the suburbs of New York. Use the pulse processor, pouring vinegar mixture in gradually, making sure to stir the ingredients between pulses. We felt like Ashkenazi Jewish food had an undeserved bad reputation, and it was time to change that. And Alpern says it also meant you could shop early and beat the holiday rush. Beneath the stone arches at the center of the restaurant are large tables and simple wooden benches, designed to encourage the enjoyment of drinking in company. Download as PDF Printable version. Published on One of the three is visually stunning, at least, and involves stuffing the fish and matzo meal mixture back into the skin to be baked and then served with the head reattached. The slimy, grey balls of fish from a jar have always struck me as icky.
