Podcast: Grandma’s gefilte fish — or chraime — comes to forefront at Foodish
A chat with Merav Oren, CEO at the culinary arm of Anu — Museum of the Jewish People, which aims to map the food of the Jewish people
Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from The Times of Israel.
We speak with Merav Oren, a serial entrepreneur and culinary creator, and now the CEO at Foodish, the new culinary arm of ANU, the renovated and rescaled Museum of the Jewish People (formerly known as Beit Hatfutsot).
Foodish is bringing the story of Jewish food to the forefront, with recipes, stories, photos, videos, and a Foodish culinary map.
There are podcasts as well, hosted by Oren with chefs and celebrities, speaking about their relationship and memories of food, and visits with culinary luminaries, such as the recent visit by food writer Joan Nathan to Israel.
Oren speaks about the goals of Foodish, which sends its team out to families who want to record their recipes for posterity, making sure those lists of ingredients and instructions are never completely lost.
She shares stories and anecdotes, sharing information about this fulsome food endeavor.
