Not Your Bubbe's Nosh Jewfolk Podcasts

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 talks with Ladino singer-songwriter Sarah Aroeste and chef Susan Barocas about their new educational Sephardic food project called Savor (pronounced sa-VOR — *not* like savor, the english word meaning to enjoy something). Savor, in Ladino, means “flavor” or “taste.”

Savor is a combined language and food initiative that combines Ladino songs about food recorded by Sarah with a culinary experience by Susan about the food that Sarah sings about. The trio chat about how Savor evolved out of pandemic-era emotional support cooking, the ways Sephardic food is often overlooked, and how Savor aims to bridge that gap with Jewish communities around the world.
