Era uma madrugada chuvosa do dia 22 de fevereiro de 1986, de sexta para sábado, quando o investigador Avi Samuel da cidade de Jerusalém, recebe um chamado para se deslocar para um bairro chamado Ein Kerem pois tiros foram disparados. Ao chegar viu uma casa de dois andares, entrou nela e ja na sala, havia em cima da mesa de jantar um fuzil M16 usado pelas FDI Forças de Defesa de Israel. Em frente à sala, ficava o quarto dos pais. O pai da família era Nissim Cohen, que foi encontrado na cama ao lado de sua esposa Leah Cohen. Ambos haviam sido baleados e a mãe ainda apresentava sinais vitais apesar da cena do crime estar coberta de sangue por todos os lados. Ela foi levada ao hospital, mas não resistiu e morreu no caminho. No andar de cima, o investigador encontrou mais dois corpos. Anat Cohen e Shira Cohen. O que aconteceu naquela casa? Teria acontecido um ataque terrorista? Um assalto que deu errado? Nada parecia fazer sentido. Vamos tentar entender esse caso bastante controverso.

Growing up as a half Filipina and half Russian-Romanian Jew, her childhood culinary background was eclectic to say the least. Cohen draws inspiration from this worldly knowledge and translates it on the plate at Lower East Side restaurant, Pig and Khao, her first solo venture and the new and exciting center of Southeast Asian food in New York City. “Culinary school is great for the resume but it depends what you take from it.” [11:00] — Leah Cohen on Radio Cherry Bombe Growing up in Australia, Janine was surrounded by unique flavors from all over the world which inspired her to embark on a culinary journey throughout Europe, Asia and beyond. Janine’s travels lead her to Miami, Florida, where she studied Culinary Arts at Le Cordon Bleu and worked in restaurants alongside former Top Chef alum Chef Jeff McInnis, exploring Southern American, Thai, Vietnamese, and Modern American cuisines. Janine is currently living in New York City and has partnered up with Top Chef alum Jeffrey McInnis to open up their own restaurant Root & Bone, which is set to open early 2014 in the East Village, NYC. Root & Bone is excited to bring a little bit of the South to the big city; a Southern revival of the farm and garden to table experience. “Southern food can be thought of as starchy and heavy and fatty but I love to cook in a lighter way with fresh vegetables and fruits.” [37:00] –Janine Booth on Radio Cherry Bombe
