Table Manners

The Big Schmear
Home cook and career producer Beth Schenker has started this new bi-monthly podcast that heroes Jewish food. With topics ranging from traditions and history to nutrition and trends, Beth interviews many experts as a way to “share the big picture of Jewish food with as many people as possible”.

Savor
There have been more than 250 episodes of this factual foodie podcast (from the folks at How Stuff Works) hosted by Anney Reese and Lauren Vogelbaum. We like the episode ‘We Are All Jelly Doughnuts’ where they delve into all things jam doughnuts, including sufganiyot, eaten in Israel during Channukah. One juicy fact: the largest sufganiyah was created in Jerusalem in 1995, weighing in at a whopping 16kg. Click here to whet your appetite.
