Jennifer’s the woman who couldn’t stand the cruel and hypocritical anti-immigration stance of people like Stephen Miller, so she did something about it. She dug into the family history of these people intent on building a wall and discovered their immigrant histories, and along the way became an expert in genealogy.  Along with the news and helpful tips on how to research your ancestors, we bake a Ukrainian cheesecake. Please consider donating to two charities helping people in Ukraine and recommended by Jennifer:  Razom for Ukraine and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.

Resistance Genealogy and Finding Your Roots with Jennifer Mendelsohn

At The Secret Life of Cookies we know that kitchens are the heart of the home. They’re where families come together, where food comes from and where some of the best conversations take place. Kitchens are where the power is (even nasty President Jackson with his “kitchen cabinet” thought so), and where the baked goods are, which is why Marissa Rothkopf, the host, spends so much time in the kitchen. On The Secret Life of Cookies we will bring you into those conversations with some smart, interesting people who like to cook and have something to say. Pull up a chair up at our kitchen table, and join us as we cook and discuss the important issues of today. 
 
Marissa Rothkopf is a professionally trained chef and food writer who has done everything from restaurant reviews for the New York Times to writing a column on kitchen gadgets for Newsweek. She teaches journalism at Montclair State University and gets nervous when asked to make custard.
