In this episode we eviscerate Nora Ephron’s You’ve Got Mail (1998) a film about dating online in the early age of the internet, with romcom’s star Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. The film is set in New York’s Upper West Side with its rich tradition of Jewish Deli food. We discuss the ins and outs of this classic story that is a remake of the 1940s The Shop Around the Corner, but with a new twist. We also bake a Chocolate Babka, a delicious chocolate brioche that requires a long and careful preparation, and which is indirectly connected to the movie, as we explain in the podcast.

We have drawn the chocolate babka recipe from the New York Times. You can find it at https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018045-chocolate-babka
