JBF on the Air: Janna Gur

On this week's episode of Taste Matters, JBF's Mitchell Davis chats with Janna Gur, a food writer, editor, cookbook author, and leading expert on Israeli and Jewish cuisine. They discuss the difference between Jewish and Israeli food, the history behind Israeli cuisine (from the beginnings of the "Seven Species" to present-day social attitudes towards food in our own households), and the current state of Jewish cuisine in America. Listen below to learn more!

Taste Matters is a radio program dedicated to taste: as a sense, cultural construct, and culinary phenomenon. However much we talk about where our food comes from, how it’s produced, who prepares it, or what sorts of socio-cultural-political implications our food choices and eating behaviors have, taste is fundamental.

You can catch Taste Matters with Mitchell Davis live every Wednesday at 11:00 A.M. on Heritage Radio Network, or listen to the show afterwards right here on our blog. To check out past episodes, click here. Stay tuned for more!
