Book Banter EP 94: Faith Kramer Interview

Hello My Happy People,

I am thrilled to share my conversation with cookbook author, Faith Kramer. Faith is so much more than a global thinker, going beyond her own local traditions and cultural foods to bring her followers a taste of globally inspired Shabbat recipes. Faith is a long time food writer and recipe developer who focuses on the various customs and histories around Jewish cuisine.

Beyond recipe development, Faith also writes about her travels and the different ingredients used in Jewish communities worldwide. You can find her work published in different online publications including j., the Jewish News of Northern California, where she writes about food, cooking, and shares original recipes.

Faith has also shared her knowledge of global Jewish food traditions in cooking classes where she taught students about Jewish customs, celebrations, and holidays, and even led food-related walking tours. During these classes and tours she would teach her students about the impact of the economic, geographic, and political influences on regional food and traditions.

For those who cannot attend her classes, she has created her new cookbook, 52 Shabbats: Friday Night Dinners Inspired by a Global Jewish Kitchen where she shares her knowledge of the global community of Jewish culinary traditions, histories, and some amazing recipes.

Having made a few of the recipes at home, I was thrilled to bring Faith and her cookbook to Book Banter followers. Faith shares some of her recipes in December Book Banter Magazine and the Year End Book Buying Guide. To check them out, just click here
