From to bagels and blintzes to pickles and pastrami, Jewish cooking traditions have become firmly entrenched in this city’s burgeoning dining options over the past few years. Yet for all our favorite kosher enterprises, there are many more still relatively under the radar. That’s all about to change thanks to Laurel Kratochvila of Fine Bagels and food culture journalist, Liv Fleischhacker, who are behind Nosh (meaning “food” in Yiddish) — the city’s inaugural festival of Jewish food. Kicking off this Sunday (19.3) with a special edition Breakfast Market at Markthalle Neun, the week’s drool-worthy line-up includes cooking classes, food demonstrations, talks, book presentations and film screenings. On Friday (24.3), choose from one of four Shabbat supper club directions from across the diaspora: Roman Jewish, Persian, modern Eastern European or Yemenite. Peruse the full program and prepare for your mouth to water. (Text: Anna Dorothea Ker / Photos: Simone Hawlish / Rebecca Crawford)
