“I’m always curious. I always want to try something new. I’m always delving into the ‘what if.’”
On this special episode to coincide with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, Melissa Clark returns to the podcast. She and Daniel talk about why Jewish food is so diverse around the world, how there is so much more to Rosh Hashanah than matzo balls and brisket, and her general recommendations for fall cooking. They also go over her current favorite music, which is very different than last time she was on the show!
