Talking about food leads to talking about everything: recipes, family stories, culinary history, healthy eating tips, and holiday tales. I write about it all, plus some truly delicious Jewish treats like rugelach and hamantaschen. Don't miss it!

People

I write stories with a food angle, usually with recipes, that come from my immigrant Jewish family, friends, memory, travels, and my insatiable curiosity about how and what people eat. I'm a home cook, teacher and LA Times and Jewish Journal alum.
