This week on Unorthodox, Mark goes to Alaska, and our producer Shira Telushkin fills in as a co-host.
We’ve got two Jewish guests this week. First we talk to Maya Jankelowitz, who along with her husband, Dean, runs Jack’s Wife Freda, the popular pair of identically named restaurants in New York City. She tells us about opening a restaurant that honored her Israeli and her husband’s South African roots (Jack and Freda were Dean’s grandparents), serving green shakshuka to Israeli tourists in Manhattan, and the restaurant’s new cookbook, which features favorite recipes like peri peri chicken, malva pudding, and Maya’s mother’s chicken schnitzel.
