LIVE FROM THE ARCHIVES: A Pinch of Tradition and a Dash of Imagination- Stories from the AJHS Cookbook Archives

On this episode we explore how Ashkenazi and Sephardi immigrants adapted a New World food and quintessential Thanksgiving dish: pumpkin. Inspired by the AJHS cookbook collection, specifically an award-winning Sabra Liqueur pumpkin pie dreamed up in a kitchen in Milwaukee and sweet pumpkin burekas perfected by a kosher food columnist right here in New York City, culinary historian Sarah Lohman demonstrates how Ashkenazi and Sephardi adaptations alike generate new ideas for your Thanksgiving table. Director of Collections Melanie Meyers and Executive Director Annie Polland are joined by Dr. Hasia Diner for a conversation about adaptation, invention, and the making of the diverse and delicious American Jewish culinary tradition.
