The Gefilte Manifesto' authors Liz Alpern and Jeffery Yoskowitz have done much to redeem the maligned reputation of gefilte fish. In honour of next Monday night's Rosh Hashanah – the Jewish New Year – I'm revisiting my 2017 podcast when we talked about our love of this Jewish food delicacy.
[link para a descrição completa do episódio: http://5ponto8.fireside.fm/24] “Na realidade de hoje, a maioria das famílias não armazena mais uma carpa viva na banheira antes dos feriados, nem passa o dia todo preparando alimentos que exigem mão-de-obra intensiva. Sob a bandeira da conveniência, as últimas décadas viram tradições alimentares preciosas enfiadas em potes e negligenciadas, incluindo gefiltefish. O gefiltefish já foi uma forma inovadora de esticar até onde um peixe poderia ir para alimentar uma família, um poderoso símbolo do campesinato europeu. A variedade enlatada, por outro lado, é um lembrete pungente de quanto nos afastamos dos velhos tempos, tanto que gefiltefish se tornou sinônimo de desatualizado, cinza, antiquado e Velho Mundo. Mas não precisamos aceitar a extinção desta tradição ou dos sabores robustos, coloridos e frescos da cozinha Ashkenazi. Sabemos que gefiltefish - como borscht e kvass e tantos outros alimentos do Velho Mundo - são excelentes quando feitos da maneira certa. Tudo se resume ao básico de qualidade, frescor, cuidado e criatividade. Gefiltefish não é apenas sobre sua bubbe. Não se trata de kitsch ou de uma revolução gastronômica. [Nosso objetivo] é recuperar nossos alimentos consagrados pelo tempo e se preocupar com seu sabor e como são obtidos. É servir um prato com orgulho, não simplesmente por deferência a convenções vazias. Trata-se de levar as tradições alimentares a sério e recuperar a glória da comida Ashkenazi - o que ela foi e o que pode ser.” Esse é o texto do “Manifesto Gefilte”, que abre o livro de mesmo título de autoria de Jeffrey Yoskowitz e Liz Alpern, no qual os autores buscam novas receitas para comidas judaicas do Velho Mundo. Em uma época em que tantas práticas judaicas estão sendo revisitadas, o que está acontecendo com a nossa comida, tanto do ponto de vista da inovações culinárias e nas receitas quanto das mudanças nas regras de cashrut? Nosssos convidados de hoje são chef Monica Dajcz e o rabino Natan Freller.

Liz Alpern is passionate about reimagining tradition and bringing people together. Liz is co-founder of The Gefilteria and co-author of The Gefilte Manifesto: New Recipes for Old World Jewish Foods. To offer your own advice, call Zak @ 844-935-BEST TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: The Jewish holiday of Passover is coming up this week. It's a holiday commemorating the Israelite's liberation from slavery in Egypt. And today on Food Friday we have some advice about Passover, celebration, symbolism and liberation. Our guide is Liz Alpern. She's a Jewish food entrepreneur, educator and cook author. ZAK: To start, for our non-Jewish friends, what is matzah and why do we eat it on Passover? LIZ: So, matzah is a ritual food of Passover. A ceremonial food of Passover. And so, it is essentially like a cracker or a flatbread and it has symbolic meaning because in the story of Passover, in the story of Exodus that's told during the Passover holiday, the whole idea is that the Jews were slaves in Egypt and they fled very quickly. And they barely could bring anything with them and so they, like, didn't have time for their bread to rise and so they threw some flour on their back and kind of got the hell out of dodge. You know what I mean? And so, matzah is bread. That biblical bread that is associated with this fleeing of Egypt and on a spiritual level there's this whole process that you do in your life but it's supposed to have a spiritual element to it. I mean, "supposed to" in air quotes. You clean your house of all of the leavened products. You get rid of them leading up to the holiday. And so there's this spiritual meaning that I've learned around this which is about confronting your ego. Confronting all the things that are puffed up. Confronting the stuff that you're carrying that is maybe taking up too much space, right? And so this idea of this cleansing process maybe the week before and then during Passover eating this humble, flat bread that is like, the literal symbol of what it is to be humbled has a lot of spiritual meaning and the way it's translated is that it's the bread of affliction...this bread that symbolizes the experience of slavery. ZAK: How do you do it? How do you make your own matzah? LIZ: My gosh. So easy. You take some flour. You mix some water. Basically, it's 4 parts flour to 1 part water. So, I mix this very, very, very basic dough. I roll it out as thin as I can. I break it up into some chunks. Roll it out, thin, thin, thin, thin. Poke some holes in it and I throw it in the oven and I bake it for about 5-6 minutes total.
When Liz Alpern arrived at business school, she didn’t exactly fit in. She rocked a carefully styled lesbian haircut, smelled of onions, and professed a deep passion for her gefilte fish company. At her big presentation, she was met with blank stares from her straight (laced) classmates. For the first time in her life, Liz's path to success was brought into question.
This week we are joined by Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz, owners of Gefilteria and the creators of the Great Big Jewish Food Fest, to talk food, tradition, and camp! Come for the discussion of which camp foods are the best, stay for the breakdown of how to make bank as a camp entrepreneur and the value of befriending the counselors. Don't waste a minute, take a listen!

Today’s episode is one of the pop-up episodes of AnthroDish which focus in on some of the speakers and guests of the 2019 Terroir Food Symposium. These are quick mini episodes that capture some of the perspectives of folks in the food industry around the theme of choices – the choices they make within their own work and its impact on their communities, businesses, and selves. Today mini-episode features Liz Alpern and Jeffrey Yoskowitz, two of the co-founders of The Gefilteria. Launched in 2012, it’s mission is to reimagine eastern European Jewish cuisine, adapting classic dishes to the values and tastes of a new generation. Jeffery and Liz believe that Old World Jewish foods can be beautiful, inspiring, and delicious. They produce limited runs of their signature artisanal gefilte fish each spring and fall, cooking a wide range of Jewish foods from the Ashkenazi culinary tradition for unique dining events. They seek to inspire others to reimagine and rediscover this incredible cusiine in their home kitchens. While they don’t have a storefront, they host tons of classes and experiences in their community around Brooklyn and worldwide, and have a brilliant cookbook called the Gefilte Manifesto. Jeffrey and Liz are so delightful to speak with, and the conversation that unfolded is one that I still think about on a fairly regular basis!

Happy Pride! In today’s episode, we honor the trailblazers and celebrate the community builders by exploring the role food has played in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. Nico Wisler, host of our newest show Queer The Table brings us a story about the Compton’s Cafeteria riot, an uprising that preceded the Stonewall Riots by a few years and marked the beginning of transgender activism in San Francisco. Colette LeGrande, who today stars in drag shows at Aunt Charlie’s Lounge, was a regular patron of Compton’s Cafeteria in the Sixties. She sat with Nico in her dressing room to share memories of the restaurant where the LGBTQ+ community could find warmth, safety, and a cup of coffee after spending the night on the street. Hear more of the story in the first episode of Queer the Table – coming soon to HRN! Our other stories this week take a look at the legacy of LGBTQ+-related riots of the 1960s. Aleah Papes introduces us to Queer Soup Night, a Brooklyn-born queer party with soup at its center and a commitment to resistance. Pauline Munch takes us all the way to Toronto for a very special drag brunch at the Glad Day Bookshop, “the world’s oldest LGBTQ bookstore.” This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council.

"I've always dreamed of a soup party." - Liz Alpern On today’s show we interview Liz Alpern, one of the founders of Queer Soup Night. Queer Soup Night started in Brooklyn with a simple event format. Liz, a queer professional chef made a soup, attendees got to enjoy that soup (and a party!) in exchange for a suggested donation to a cause. The first one went so well, Liz and her partners Jen Martin and Kathleen Cunningham knew they had to keep going. Now, there are Queer Soup Nights in chapters round the country - from Oakland and Portland to Gainesville and Boston. Their events have raised thousands of dollars for Queer and Queer adjacent causes, from New York Transgender Advocacy Group to the Center for Anti-Violence Education. Why soup? Why a party with a charity? Why launch chapters? We'll get into the whole story with Liz today on the podcast.
In honor of Passover, we’re talking everything from matzo to schmaltz. Alana Newhouse, the editor in chief of Tablet, stops by to discuss her new book, The 100 Most Jewish Foods, with Cherry Bombe Special Projects Director (and matzo ball soup aficionado) Lauren Goldstein. In the second half of the show, Radio Cherry Bombe Associate Producer Jess Zeidman talks to Liz Alpern of Queer Soup Night and The Gefilteria about all things gefilte fish and why she’d invite Oprah to her seder. Plus, Executive Pastry Chef Paola Velez of Kith & Kin in Washington, D.C., tells us who she thinks is the bombe. Special thanks to Handsome Brook Farm Pasture Raised Organic Eggs for supporting this season of Radio Cherry Bombe!
