Australia’s Jewish cooking club
Jewish Journal
October 17, 2013

A group of women known as the Monday Morning Cooking Club has adopted this tried-and-true sisterhood tradition of culinary anthropology and recipe collecting and brought it into contemporary food culture, via Sydney, Australia.
Food flight: Perusing American Jewry’s past and present
Jewish Journal
March 31, 2011
Two relatively new books tell the story of American Jewry, weaving together its past and present by examining tradition and making it relevant to today’s reader.
