Jewish Food Safari

In the final episode of series three, Maeve O'Meara explores the delicious and complex world of Jewish food, full of age-old traditions and customs including a strict dietary code (kasrut) laid out in the Old Testament. She visits kosher butcher shops and fish shops in Melbourne and Sydney, with food preparation supervised by a rabbi.

She samples sweet plaited bread challah and bagels; vibrant borscht (beetroot soup); golden Jewish penicillin - aka chicken soup; cholent - a slow-cooked dish of meat and pulses that is perfect as a Sabbath dish; gefilte fish and beef brisket.

No Jewish home is ever without an endless array of baked goods including exceptional cakes and Maeve samples a fragrant orange and almond cake, a recipe made without flour to commemorate the time when the Jews fled with Moses and didn't have time to bake.
