Tête-à-tête: Conversations in Canadian Jewish Studies returns for a second season of in-depth discussions about the research and ideas shaping Jewish Canada!
In this first episode of Season 2, host Jonathan Slater sits down with food historian, genealogist, and librarian Kaye Prince-Hollenberg to reflect on her work collecting Canadian Jewish community cookbooks, excavating their recipes, and tracing the lives of their little-known contributors (most of whom were women). Kaye also describes her related work reviving the recipes of women who submitted their creations to TheCanadian Jewish Review‘s “Class in Cookery” column. She and Jonathan dive into the role women have long played in preserving Jewish culinary traditions and how genealogists can use culinary sources in conducting family history.
