I was surprised to read that Ashkelon Academic College requires that every item of food students wish to bring into their rooms be approved by an “approved rabbinic authority,” even if it is prepared at home.

And speaking of college campuses, University of Miami has a new on-campus glatt kosher restaurant, The Oasis.

If you find yourself in the Philadelphia area, you might want to check out Maccabeam Restaurant. The review I read said it “represents the best in Israeli cuisine.”

Tastes and Traditions, a new cookbook – and fundraiser – for the New Haven Jewish Community Center is available for purchase here.

Drake’s(R) Snack Cakes are celebrating 120 years of snacking. At one time, it was thought that Drakes were the only kosher snack cakes. Once under the Triangle K, today Drakes are certified kosher under the OU. Finally, The Times-Picayune has an interesting review of two of New Orleans kosher restaurants, Casablanca and Kosher Cajun New York Deli and Grocery.

Mayonnaise. That’s right, you read it correctly. And I’m sure it’s not the first time you’ve read it, either. And the thought of it has probably made you go ‘”blech.” But this is me saying it, so let’s break it down logically, and you’ll see that the idea isn’t as far-fetched as you might think. [...]

With our focus now turned to the upcoming Pesach holiday, I wanted to share with you some lighter and healthier meal ideas. We have some baked, not fried eggplant, low-carb “rice” created in a unique way, a nice salad and a refreshingly light dessert. I hope this will enhance your Pesach and bring you many nice compliments.

So here’s what most of you missed Monday night while you were at home being lazy.

So there is good news and bad. Which one do you want to hear first? Me? I always want to hear the bad news first. I need to get it over with. So here goes. Purim 2013 is now something we can discuss in the past tense and that can only mean one thing. Actually two.

In 2001, David Ehrlich, an Israeli promotional filmmaker originally from New York, was down on his luck.

Artisan gefilte fish.

For some, the phrase seems like an oxymoron. While salmon, chilean sea bass and tilapia may all be in vogue, gefilte fish, the traditional ground fish mixture that is de rigueur in Ashkenazic Jewish households at Shabbos and Yom Tov meals, is like the Henny Youngman of fish: it gets no respect.
