Guest: Exhibitors & Vendors

​It’s Kosherfest! And what is that you ask? It’s the worlds’ biggest event for the business of Kosher foods held annually in November. I had the opportunity to attend this year where it was held in Secaucus, New Jersey. I’ll do my best to give you a tour of this gigantic exhibit space where over 800 vendors participated in this year’s conference. I don’t have any recipes this time around but I do have all kinds of interesting tidbits about Kosher products that you would have never imagined!

Guest: Jamie Geller & Chef Laura Frankel

Jamie Geller is BAAACK! and Chef Laura Frankel joins in for this episode. We talk about Israeli food and lots about Chanukah latkas and sufganiyot. I think you are going to be so ready for Chanukah and latkes by the time you get to the end of this episode.

Happy Holidays to all. We’ll be back with our next episode of The Big Schmear on January 8. 

Guest: Jamie Geller

​I’m excited to talk with Jamie Geller of Joy of Kosher magazine in this episode. She’s an amazing woman with tons of energy and it’s all focused on preparing Jewish food. Join me for learning how Jamie went from American journalist to Jewish Kosher food & Israel; from “The Bride who Knew Nothing” to the head of a Joy of Kosher food magazine.

Although we taped this in September you’ll see our focus on Hanukkah in the recipes she shares.
