Recipes rescued from the Holocaust tell the story of pre-war Jewish life

Recipes rescued from the Holocaust tell the story of pre-war Jewish life

Thanks to an unusual friendship, on March 21, 100 attendees at the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation in Buckhead tasted some recipes at a Food and Family Ties: Honor Holocaust Memory Through Rescued Recipes dinner. The $1,000-per-person event was a fundraiser for the Museum’s Rubenstein National Institute for Holocaust Documentation, which is responsible for preserving Holocaust artifacts, such as the Fenves family recipe book.

In 2018, James Beard Award-winning Chef Alon Shaya learned about the Fenves family relic at the Holocaust Museum. Since visiting Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, Shaya had been thinking about Holocaust survivors who wrote recipes from memory on scraps of cloth while in concentration camps and the ways that memories of food sustained people. When Shaya learned that Steven was a frequent volunteer with the museum in D.C., he realized it was an opportunity to work one-on-one with someone with a connection to those recipes.

Shaya asked Steven to translate the handwritten recipes. (Subotica was on the Hungarian/Yugoslavia border, where Steven says, “even the dogs barked in two languages.” The Fenves family spoke Hungarian and German at home.) He agreed, and worked off a high-resolution copy, as the original, with its embossed cover, is fragile.

Then, the coronavirus pandemic happened, and the project moved to videoconferencing. In New Orleans, Shaya cooked and sent Fenves dishes, packed in dry ice, that they would discuss over Zoom. Steven gave the chef feedback, and Shaya refined. Steven told Shaya that his favorite dish (both then and now) was semolina sticks that looked like fish sticks. Shaya concocted a Cream of Wheat-type paste and shaped them. Guests at the dinner happily took seconds and thirds of the snack, which was crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside and included an artful dollop of mustard.

In addition to the semolina sticks, guests ate potato circles with mushrooms and thyme, a recipe that uses mashed potatoes in a dough. This dish, which Steven remembers as something served when the adults entertained, was also one that Atlanta guests returned to for second helpings. Other dishes included: mushroom paprikash with sour cream; duck liver pate with rye crackers and fig jam; and small dates stuffed with radishes, saffron and scallions. The dessert station was stacked with walnut cream cake, poppy seed pinwheel and apple tart. The evening’s program included copies of a few recipes for folks to try at home.

The Atlanta dinner is one of eight Rescued Recipe dinners the museum is hosting across the country. So far the initiative has raised about $300,000 of its $1 million goal.

Steven’s son, Gregory L. Fenves, is the president of Emory University (and the first Jewish president of the school). This gave the Atlanta event some elements not available at the other dinners. Steven is not traveling to all of the dinners, but was able to be on stage in Atlanta, in a discussion moderated by Gregory. Because some of Klara’s art hangs in Lullwater House, it was available to display to guests, who got to see up-close what Maris hid all those years.

“This is an absolutely fascinating story. The story of survival. It is a story of a righteous Gentile. Maris risked her life just to keep a recipe book and 200 pieces of art, and that she was able to find the family after the war,” says Jed Silberg, the museum’s national philanthropy officer. “It’s incumbent upon us at the museum to preserve and tell the story. We do it for Steven. We do it for every survivor, and it’s important for the future, so that Steven’s past isn’t anyone else’s future.”

For as often as Steven and Shaya have worked together, they discover new things each time they share with others. On the stage with his son and Shaya, Steven recounted how his desire to educate about the Holocaust has ebbed and flowed over the years. He wasn’t actively sharing when Shaya reached out.

“It was a period of painful dormancy. I stopped using my voice,” Steven says to Shaya. “So, I owe you for getting me back to my own story.”

“I had not heard that before. And it makes me feel important. It makes me feel like it was the right thing to do,” Shaya says. “We’re doing more than just cooking food. We’re giving each other purpose.”

Jose Andres Is Publishing a World Central Kitchen Cookbook

Jose Andres Is Publishing a World Central Kitchen Cookbook

José Andrés has made it his personal mission to run toward the fray since a catastrophic earthquake rocked Haiti in 2010. With the formation of his nonprofit World Central Kitchen, the chef and humanitarian has traveled the world along with his team, supporting the organization’s mission to provide food in response to disasters.

Andrés was in Austin this week for South by Southwest (SXSW) during which he gave a keynote about World Central Kitchen. Most recently, the organization was on the ground in Central Europe, providing hot meals to thousands of refugees in and around Ukraine impacted by the ongoing war, and arrived in Turkey and Syria just two days after two devastating earthquakes left millions of people displaced.

The Barcelona-raised chef immigrated to America at 21, rising through the ranks of New York City kitchens before becoming the head chef of Spanish tapas restaurant Jaleo in Washington, D.C. He made the restaurant a culinary destination, and then traveled back to Spain to star in what became one of the country’s most popular cooking shows, and, alongside his ThinkFoodGroup partner, eventually opened more than 30 restaurants. The celebrated chef has been recognized for his work many times over, with four Michelin Bib Gourmands, a two-Michelin-star restaurant, and a National Humanities Medal awarded by President Barack Obama in 2015.

After his SXSW session, Andrés spoke with Eater about his work and the nonprofit’s recently announced cookbook, The World Central Kitchen Cookbook: Feeding Humanity, Feeding Hope, which will publish on September 12. It’ll feature recipes from meals served during mission efforts, like Ukrainian borscht and lahmacun flatbread, as well as recipes shared by chefs and celebrities, including Ayesha Curry, Michelle Obama, and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex. The author proceeds from the book will go back to World Central Kitchen’s missions.

Eater: You spoke about the need to build longer tables, not higher walls. What did you mean by that?

José Andrés: When America went to help Haiti in the middle of an earthquake, we felt we did good. I was proud of the response. But when we don’t do good in the right way, it creates more mayhem than not. In Haiti, we put hundreds if not thousands of local farmers out of business because the amount of rice that was coming in from America and other countries was so massive that the local farmers had no market anymore. We were supposed to spend money in the country, making sure those farmers made a living, kept planting, and kept improving. What happened was that many of these farmers ended up moving because of a lack of jobs, and immigrating to Central America.

Years later, we saw what happened in Texas when we had thousands of Haitians in a caravan at the border. That story began years ago. We created the problem. We could concentrate on building walls or we could build longer tables. Making sure that our aid did not create more problems, by supporting the local farmers — that would have been the meaning of building longer tables. We can also do that in our own country. Everybody talks about walls in terms of separating countries, and we don’t realize that we have walls even in our communities.

To date, World Central Kitchen has provided more than 250 million meals to people in need. It’s been able to do that under wildly different conditions: natural disasters and war zones. To what would you attribute that success?

What I like about going into these missions is that what we do is very specific. Let’s provide food and water to the people until the system comes back. Being focused is very important. One of the things that happens with very big organizations, the government being the biggest one of all, is there are so many things we need to be working on that there’s no focus. I’ve learned when I go to these emergencies that being focused allows you a certain level of success, because when we all put our best effort into a very specific objective, success is usually within reach.

With each new mission, you’re meeting people during intense times of crisis and providing them with something simple, but necessary: a hot meal. How has your work changed your perspective on food?

I do more than cooking. What I do is try to listen and make the best decision with what we have on hand. What I’ve learned is that when you have plenty of restaurants and people willing to cook, why not do a hot fresh meal instead of an MRE [Meal, Ready to Eat]? It’s not about the fanciness of a fresh meal, it’s that when you decide to cook, you require the entire community to commit, which is very difficult. But that combined effort is what gives people a common goal. They are part of the solution. They’re not sitting in their homes waiting for reconstruction to start or their electricity to come back. We’re doing something to make sure that the goal of going back to “normal” is reached quicker and faster. Feeding people helps get the community back up and running. We bring hundreds if not thousands of people as part of our network, and when people see us on the move, it makes them join the effort. When you see communities reactivating, and making decisions on their own, it’s very powerful.

How have things changed over the last decade for World Central Kitchen?

With any organization, as you mature, things change, like the way we deliver the food, and how hot the food is. It’s not the same to be feeding in the middle of a hurricane in the Caribbean as in the middle of a snowstorm in Turkey; it’s not the same to deliver by boat, by helicopter, or by amphibious vehicle. But what has been the same from the beginning is that we do the best food we can with what we have.

You’ve spoken about the power of food as a storytelling device, as a way to share and experience each other’s cultures. How does that factor into your work?

In the early days, people will eat anything. Sometimes, if all we can get a hold of is mac and cheese and hot dogs, that’s what we’ll cook. But things will get better every day. Bringing hot meals every day means people trust you more. The first day in Syria became a very chaotic situation. You don’t want to bring the military or police at the start. The first days that you’re there are going to be a little bit of chaos, especially because people didn’t have food for days. They’re hungry and they want to feed their families. When you come back on the second day, the chaos is less. On the third day, you see smiles and people are not so anxious. And if you come back the fourth and the fifth day, they’ll say, “By the way, we also need water,” “This family needs medicine,” or, “These families need baby formula.” All of a sudden, you are building bridges with members of the community who see you are reliable. You are not going there, and just dropping and leaving. You’re there for them. You didn’t come for the photos or because the journalists came. When the photographers and journalists are gone, we keep coming back.

You announced the World Central Kitchen cookbook. What do you want people to take away from it?

This is gonna be one book that is going to lend itself to more books in the years to come. Not everybody’s a chef, and not everybody’s a cook, but the heart of what we are is cooking with feeling. I think it’s a good way to connect with people, the NGO that provides food in emergencies shares the recipes of the people that made the emergency response possible. I think that’s a great way to connect the people that follow us and our kitchen, with people with boots on the ground.

Opinion | We’re thinking about food ‘waste’ all wrong

Opinion | We’re thinking about food ‘waste’ all wrong
(Michelle Kondrich/The Washington Write-up)

Remark

Tamar Adler, a previous experienced cook, is the author of “An Everlasting Meal: Cooking With Financial system and Grace,” “Something Old, Some thing New: Classic Recipes Revised” and, most just lately, “The Everlasting Meal Cookbook: Leftovers A-Z.”

Buzz about “food waste” has just lately been all over the place. There’s the community awareness marketing campaign to minimize food in landfills in Ohio. Kroger has a Zero Hunger Zero Waste pledge, Walmart a “50{d2b09b03d44633acb673e8080360919f91e60962656af8ade0305d5d8b7e4889} foodstuff waste reduction goal” by 2030. In January, President Biden signed the Meals Donation Advancement Act, growing liability defense for foodstuff donors, to stimulate donation of meals that’s typically discarded. In February, the Zero Food Squander Act was launched in Congress.

The stats inform us why: 30 to 40 percent of the meals the United States provides finishes its lifetime in landfills. Foods waste accounts for as a great deal as 8 percent of worldwide greenhouse gasoline emissions, of which the United States produces 11 percent. American homes of 4 folks throw out, on regular, $120 worth of food every single thirty day period.

As the author of two textbooks on cooking leftovers, I’m ecstatic that the dilemma of unused foodstuff has been edging into the highlight. But I fear we’re tackling it incorrect.

Laws and public consciousness campaigns might direct to compact improvements in the numbers. But more vitally: Individuals need to collectively exchange a preoccupation with “food waste” — which does not seem edible, never ever mind mouth watering — with a passion for meals use. We need to transform our technique from a moralistic a single to a realistic human one that treats edible ingredients as what they are: food.

Foodstuff becomes “waste” subjectively, and in that subjective starting to be lies a earth of culinary likelihood. Until eventually it is squandered, food is food stuff. Meals adjustments about time — as human beings do. But a single could say of foods what the anthropologist Mary Douglas did of dust: “There is no such factor as complete grime: It exists in the eye of the beholder.”

Whether or not foods is “food” or “waste” is up to you. For most of historical past, the line amongst the edible and the inedible has been still left incontrovertibly to “the eye of the beholder.” (Just one could possibly additional precisely say “the eye, nose, fingers and tongue of the beholder.”) We have used information and facts attained by observing and smelling and touching and tasting to make your mind up whether food items should be cooked or fed to the animals, or the soil.

This subjective observation has developed culinary treasures — commencing with yogurt and cheese and wine, whose discoveries depended on a willingness to enjoy what milk and grape juice turned as they advanced.

Refried beans exist mainly because a person prolonged ago reliable herself to smash and reheat leftover chilly beans in unwanted fat. Fried rice — like sinangag and chao admirer and hundreds of other dishes — is a common enjoyment because cold, tough rice wasn’t discarded when it finished remaining hot, fresh new rice, but as an alternative was fulfilled where it was.

I’ll never ever forget about my initial flavor of ribollita, in a riverside cafe in Florence, where by, too late for lunch, I was pitied and served a bowl of it — completely thick and warm and nubby brown, topped with fresh olive oil. Many years later, I acquired how to make that well-known soup, and that it depends on old ingredients: stale dry bread, broth remaining from cooking beans, a rind of Parmesan cheese.

By concentrating on using food items past the confines of our initially imaginings, we’re granted access to a planet of flavor — in soup that has tightened and melded overnight into a delicious sauce, or a dressing whose dregs increase a lunchtime sandwich. We also achieve invaluable culinary intelligence, learning how taste migrates from one ingredient to a further, what comes about to liquid and unwanted fat right away, how acid and salt can soften what has hardened, how intelligent knife function can crisp what has sagged.

Additionally, we preserve revenue on elements and time going to the store. And we maintain food from landfills.

By shifting our aim from what to do with the foodstuff becoming squandered to how every of us will use what we have, we also go away place for the significant foodstuff-programs imagining our situations desire. When notice is paid out to the diversion of food items waste as a way of addressing hunger, it obscures the point that — as researcher Austin Bryniarski has place it — hunger is a product of poverty.

No quantity of brown bananas or hideous vegetables despatched to shelters or foods financial institutions can offer with that simple fact. This place is specifically poignant when a single considers that more than a few-quarters of workers at Kroger-owned supermarkets practical experience foods insecurity — far more than 7 moments the national average — when the Kroger chain is lauded for its food squander activism.

And even though the meals that men and women waste generates greenhouse gases, of bigger concern is the more than 25 per cent of complete greenhouse emissions that arrive from all meals manufacturing, which significantly is conducted by way of nitrogen-large, useful resource-intensive industrial programs that exploit their laborers, ruin topsoil and weave opaque provide chains controlled by a number of stakeholders. With limited hunger and time for reversing weather adjust, the greater photograph is the a person that issues.

Of class, viewing evolving foodstuff as food will need trusting our senses, in the face of conflicting expiration and finest-by dates — which are not truly expiration and finest-by dates and have been debunked as irrelevant to food stuff protection. Through the past Congress, the Food Day Labeling Act aimed to federally control those labels, which change greatly state to point out, and give company again to eaters.

In the meantime, it is important to rely on that we individuals have intricate noses, advanced over hundreds of thousands of a long time for just the intent of divining the edible from the inedible. We odor some factors improved than puppies do. A analyze published by the National Academy of Sciences showed that “disgust is an progressed human emotion that features to limit an infection.” Our intestine responses to food stuff are evolutionarily fantastic-tuned to support us distinguish in between “food” and “waste.”

So yes, People need to toss out significantly less food stuff. But a more immediate, inexpensive, pleasurable and truthful route than obsessing more than meals squander is to use the food items we have — to stick to the illustrations of the thousands of ways frugal cooks from across the globe have finished this for millennia. Who is familiar with? The next discovery of refried beans, or chao lover, or ribollita might be just all around the corner.
