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.

When worlds collide. Thanks, @JTAnews @shirahanau for covering my new plant-forward venture @orderpapaya.
And wouldn't you know it, my interest in elevating plant-based dining has roots and connections in my family, as well as Jewish food history.
