Talk | Jews in Food: Mainstreaming of Jewish Food in America

Wednesday, March 23, 2011, 6:30 pm

Free

With Gil Marks, author of Encyclopedia of Jewish Food. For more than 2,000 years, Jews have brought culinary traditions with them to various countries and also adopted local dishes, modifying them to fit their dietary laws, lifestyle, and tastes. The author will explore these phenomena of transforming and transmitting foods in America, including the mainstreaming of the blatantly Jewish bagel and rugelach, to items with less obvious Jewish roots, including Boston baked beans, and the Jewish role in transforming foods, such as doughnuts and yogurt. He will follow the mainstreaming of kosher foods in America from canned vegetarian baked beans (ultimately derived from Sephardic Sabbath stews) to more than 110,000 products under kosher supervision.
