Inside the Jewish Bakery: Recipes and Memories from the Golden Age of Jewish Baking

This panel discussion delves into the history of challah, rye, matzo and bagel making in New York. Proprietors from Streit’s Matzo, the Bagel Hole and Chiffon’s Cake Center, as well as author Stanley Ginsberg (Inside the Jewish Bakery), will school guests on the backgrounds of these beloved goods. Taste samples from each bakery while they chronicle Jewish baking’s most prosperous era (post-WWII until the late 1970s) and explain how old-world techniques were adapted to suit Gotham’s palates.
