Our Most Delicious Food Segments of 2022
Food is an undeniable part of Jewish life, and we talk about it a lot on our podcasts. Here are five of our favorite food segments from the past year.


Jews and food: It’s an endless conversation. What makes a food Jewish, which recipe is the recipe to use, and what it means that food—or its absence—is such a big part of the Jewish story. Naturally, we talk a lot about food on our podcasts. Here are five of our favorite food segments from the past year.

So Quinn embarked on a journey to learn how to make some of the most popular and enduring Jewish dishes, with the help of friends. Join her for her Cook Like a Jew series on Unorthodox.
