Thanks for sharing, I've been wanting to know more about this author since your challah post. I use her recipe, as you kindly suggested, and find it super easy and doable. Will look into her new book!

What history behind Joan Nathan's work! Loved seeing home -made matzo being made in the video, because I've only ever seen the factory kind. Have a wonderful time at the dinner, Ruth, and here's to the healing power of food. ❤️
