The Food Fest is over, but …
" If you missed a session or a recipe, or want to take a virtual tour of the Lower East Side or find some fun activities for the whole family, please check out our website."
There are also some cool-sounding videos like Herring, and Lox Slicing from Russ and Daughters, and all about gefilte fish from the Gefilteria.
Such a resource over the fest run! I learned a ton and overall led to dozens of links I will continue to visit.
Thxs for the heads up.
@Rooster - I think your braiding is most respectable, and the resulting loaves are beautiful. Challah is one of my favorite breads, but I’ve always used the Silver Palate recipe, which I love. I’ve saved the one you used to give it a try. H always braids, because he’s Greek. I’m not Jewish, but have friends that are, and I love some of the foods.
Thanks! I’m going to try a round braided loaf next time. I have much to learn about the traditions even 1/2 Jewish.
During the Great Big Jewish Fest, I read about a spice company, Meet My Kneads. I ordered one of their spice blend bundles to try after learning 100% of the proceeds supports college students struggling to pay for meals. Each blend has a clever Jewish reference and baking purpose.
Thanks. I missed that. You’ll have to let us know how you use them and what you think. Great names!
Can spices be adorable? Cuz those are.
Thanks for this! Just sent a couple to a friend in D.C. who is living in the middle of the chaos but still baking challah and bagels. 
Avert your eyes, MsBean!! No need for more spices right now!!
I know. I put some in my cart and then couldn’t figure out where I’d put them so I left them there. It was painful
HA! I was certain you had the whole collection on overnight delivery. 
I’m really trying. It is hard.
Oh come on now…you get no sympathy from me. Spices are there to be celebrated. Dig in.
Thanks again for the tip on the spices! They arrived today and my friend is thrilled; says he’ll try them this week and report back, but he’s a graphic designer and loved their packaging (and their story).
That’s awesome.
Thanks for posting these @Rooster; although I need no new spices for self, I have Jewish friends who would appreciate greatly, as well as get a good laugh. Especially a bf, I always send spices to anyway.
When you visit their website, you will see additional spice blend offerings. The owner is a nice lady too.
Some of the companies involved in the fest are continuing to offer online events.
