As a Greek Orthodox Christian girl who typically avoids carbs, I want you to know I have made every single recipe you’ve put out since this series began! I love it all! (Well, my babka also was a bit lackluster buuuuuuut it made me feel your pain even more deeply, and isn’t want we need most right now in the world empathy? 😂) Your brisket especially made my family swoon. 😻 I cannot wait to make matzo and do some chopped livers on the side (my husband is part Jewish and is particularly eager for this). I saw you write on Instagram that it was kind of humbling for you to go from millions to thousands of views. That can’t feel amazing, but I hope you know that your series has deepened my appreciation for Jewish food, culture, and history. You are also absolutely hilarious and confident in a way I aspire to be. So please know you’re making a difference, even if it feels small! Keep cooking and stay sassy, beautiful Tess! ❤️
I just learned more about Passover in 10 minutes than I have in 24 years. Please help me learn! I'd love more Slightly Kosher, and other Slightly's that delish could provide
My thought as Tess was eating it was, "I bet that'd be really good pan fried with a bunch of butter, and maybe some herbs, then sprinkled with the chunky salt when it's done frying." Followed by, "That probably is not the bread of oppression."
Me: learning about different Jewish traditions and history as Tess cooks the food Tess: *gets information from Rugrats* 😂😂 MA’AM that doesn’t sound right
My father was a Christian minister, I have been around the Bible my entire life, and even I cannot recall all ten of the plagues of Egypt. Got five at best... six. I had no idea matzo was so simple to make; thanks!
I love Tess, Michael and her in-laws. Heck, this whole family is a TV show in the making. Everyone is so competent and funny. Someone greenlight this, please.
You are so funny! you make me feel better because when I try to explain things I sound the same way. but what a fun telling of the story! Thanks for your recipe!
I was thinking next time roll it on a silicone mat. Than you can slip the silicone mat to the pan. Thanks for showing this ,and yes I'm going to make it.
Pro tip: Streit's matzo uses a flour water ratio(by weight) of 8 parts flour to 3 parts water. This makes an extremely dry dough. This is also why it is crisp like a cracker instead of a crisp and chewy that is the product of a higher hydration dough.
@@VO613 Try 2 parts flour to 1 part water by weight. Or 1 cup of flour to 1/4 cup water by volume. Remember that using all purpose flours will yield an even softer dough compared to higher protein bread flours.
Great episode! My favorite teacher used to affectionately call this cracker of suffering. He would give out cookies as rewards all year round except around Passover. And then we'd snack on matzo until that was gone, and the cookies reappeared.
Looks like the matzo I made a few years ago, and almost broke a tooth on :) "Pro tip", I put it on a baking stone raised on top of 3 empty cans I put on my BBQ cranked as hot as it goes... turns it into like a pizza oven(and I make pizza like that)
Listening to Tess tell the story of Passover made me think that the content we all deserve is a video of Tess watching The Ten Commandments and roasting the bejesus out of Charlton Heston.
Love this series...you have at least one fan from Israel. I hope you keep this series going even after you can go back to eat your way through theme parks
Plagues were rivers turned to blood, frogs, lice (natts), swarming flies, blisters, hail, locust, famine, 3 days of darkness and first born child would die.
Tess is correct, the Jewish people fleeing Pharoah went into the desert with the dough on their shoulder (that did not have time to rise) and the sun baked it! Go to 1:58 for the explanation provided by the Rabbi: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-c-ICToi7gWg.html You both are a blast to watch!
Very interesting. We are Irish Catholic and my mom catered for Jewish people and got to bring home the leftovers. Fun to understand the why of the dishes. Anything behind that noodle pudding stuff??
18 minutes is Hebrew numerology for the word "chai", meaning life. The letters to spell "chai" חי happen to equal 18 in hebrew numerology. Its also why. multiples of 18 are traditional numeric gifts at weddings and bnei mitzvot
I told my daughter let’s join Weight Watchers...I want to sit on my counter top and look cute like Tess. She goes mom your 50 Tess in 20-30ish. At best you come in at a cool...handsome🤣. My adult toddler called me handsome. Whatever...
It's not true that they baked it on their backs, but you don't want to know where they toasted their bagels. Let's just say that that's how the schmear was developed. Oy.
Ah, yes. This is so unique. Unless you use left over corn tortillas and you call it Chilaquiles, or unless you use stale French bread and call it Pain Perdu, or unless you go to any other ethnic household for breakfast when they only have eggs & left over bread. So amazing how everyone wants the whole world to know about their unique culture yet they have absolutely no interest in getting to know the other guy's culture.
