Season 2, Episode 4: History of Christmas Candies and Candy Chat with Daniel Zafran from the Candy is Dandy Podcast, where he is one of three co-hosts. Daniel stated their show is composed of them picking a candy, talking about the history and the story of it, reviewing it, and rating it. They also have candy news, play a candy related game, and do candy autopsies, which you can watch on TikTok.  Daniel shared some history of Christmas candies. Each has a story! The holiday candies he unveiled the stories about included: candy canes, Hannukah gelt, almond roca, Ferraro Rocher,  and Teri's chocolate oranges.  Some stories about the candies are religious and others are cultural... but all very interesting. We also discussed the story of Nutella... and is Nutella candy? What do you think? We also debated the best chocolates and how American chocolate is not that great, but give a mention of a few brands that are decent/good. Daniel talked about his travels and the not so good surprise he got about Chinese chocolate. We discussed how candies are very different from countries and some are not even candy-like to the common sweet tooths we have in America and Europe.  I mentioned the amazing candy store in Minnesota and the wide variety, including worldwide candies, and Daniel mentioned the wide variety of different types of grocery stores near him that stock candies from different countries. We also chatted about what is candy and what isn't really candy. We had a blast talking for almost an hour about candy!

Episode 26: Rose's Family Favourites: A Delightful Mix of Kosher, Asian, Continental, and Jewish Recipes with Cookbook Author Rose Benjamin. Rose and I chatted about how her cookbook is a conglomeration of many family recipes. Making her recipes celebrates her family's traditions and creating this cookbook during the pandemic helped her create a family legacy that not only her family can enjoy, but everyone else in the world too! She loves to personally communicate digitally with her buyers and facilitate a conversation and/or relationship with the buyer to answer questions and help them with any struggles they may have with the recipes. She created a recipe book that reflects her family's food memories. The foods we make, and the recipes we turn to again and again, carry wonderful and cherished memories with them each time we make and enjoy them, both old and new memories. Family traditions with food are meaningful expressions of love, camaraderie, and fellowship with our family members and friends.  Enjoy her cookbook that was made with love, crafted with time, energy, and trusted recipes from her heritage.
