Whenever I was fortunate enough to spend time w/ Cara Da Silva, we laughed and talked food history. She was warm and generous. I read “In Memory’s Kitchen” on the bus to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp in 2016. It’s one of the most important books in my library. z”l

Love the exploration of the fish cake across global cuisine by @cathyerway for @taste. Glad I could add a few insights into my "hot dog of the sea" heritage.

Couldn't be more excited to discuss Chinese food, Jews, and Christmas with @mofad and the great @hannaraskin @stirfrygrace and more.

It's extra important this year to recognize the role Chinatown and Chinese businesses played in shaping my favorite American Jewish tradition.

It may be hard to get fresh fish for homemade gefilte fish this year. Well, the 1960s has you covered: canned tuna gefilte fish. Last year, @NPRFood interviewed me for this story & we had a laugh. Now it may be the Passover dish for the moment.
