Not Your Bubbe's Nosh – Détails, épisodes et analyse

On this episode! It’s a solo one, with Micah talking all about the process of making her cookbook, “Nosh: Plant-Forward Recipes Celebrating Modern Jewish Cuisine.” It’s been a wild ride, and she wanted to answer everyone’s questions on the work that goes into endlessly testing recipes (15 tries alone to get vegan matzah balls right), the importance of good food photos, and finding your own unique spin on recipes.

Also, happy new year, folks!

On this episode! Micah uncovers the secrets of challah: where it comes from, common mistakes and fears people have when making it, and whether or not it's an...aphrodisiac?

Lower your inhibitions to making the ritual bread! Let challah elevate your Friday nights – and into early Saturday morning, if that's what you like ;)

On this episode! Micah chats with Kat Romanow, fellow Canadian and Jewish food historian, about why dairy is historically associated with Hannukah; why Montreal bagels are the best bagels; and how they're soulmates (yes, there is some crying and disowning of husbands involved).

Plus, some ideas on how to have a more creative Hannukah menu this year!

On this episode, Micah explores the bizarre situation around impossible pork — the vegetarian facimile of pork from the same company that brought you the impossible burger.

Though impossible pork is technically kosher, one of the most influential kosher certification agencies won't give it the stamp of approval. So is it kosher? Is ANYTHING kosher??

On this episode, Micah touches a controversial subject: Gefilte fish, a food known to most Jews as gooey, slimy, beige lumps of mashed fish floating in a jar of jellied broth. Yum!

But, actually, yes yum. Let Micah take you on a journey back to homemade gefilte fish, how her grandmother and great-grandmother used to make it, topped off by an easy gefilte fish-adjacent recipe (also for kicks, beet boiled eggs).

On this episode, Micah walks through some of her favorite Jewish food moments on TV shows and in movies. While it's fun to stroll down memory lane, there's a story to tell about what those moments mean re: Jewish representation onscreen. Oh, and Micah yadda yadda yaddas through some plot!

On this episode, a food horror story: The Manischewitz frozen gefilte dog on a stick. Micah sees this viral marketing schtick as part of a bigger story of Manischewitz modernizing its brand -- in perhaps horrible, horrible ways.

You'll also hear how Micah smuggled Manischewitz wine to her grandfather -- not a story to miss!

Music: Samovar Party by Shane Ivers -- https://www.silvermansound.com

We're joined for an interview with Alene Sussman of the Chewish Blog (https://chewishblog.wordpress.com/) to talk about Jewish Christmas, aka Chinese food and a movie. Alene talks about the trends and history of this tradition, and some parallels between Jewish and Chinese cultures, which she also wrote about here https://tcjewfolk.com/andrew-zimmerns-controversy-is-our-opportunity/.

Resources: https://www.myjewishlearning.com/the-nosher/why-do-jews-eat-chinese-food-on-christmas/
Data backing this up: Google Trends data lends some insight, showing that searches for “Chinese food” spike on Christmas compared to any other day of the year. Related phrases like “Chinese restaurant,” or adding “open” or “near me” saw a similar spike. On Yelp, the same pattern emerged: For the past six years, page views for Chinese restaurants peaked on December 25th, all more than doubling their usual share.
