Ask any Jewish man, woman or child to describe a favorite memory and the response will likely to be a story about family, friends and food. The sights, sounds, and smells all have special meaning, but it is memories of the tastes that bring the most smiles. Food and Jewish life have been inseparable throughout history. The Old Testament says the Israelites celebrated their newfound freedom from the Pharaoh with a communal meal of roast lamb and herbs.
