The Big Schmear Podcast

​​In this episode, Ina talks about her favorite Jewish foods, including some that are her own guilty pleasures and some that found their way into her restaurant. She also shares what she considers to be absolute necessities to have in her own kitchen.  And best of all, Ina reads from her cookbook: the book  is not only filled with wonderful recipes from the restaurant and has beautiful photos of her amazing food, it’s also a memoir of her long career in the restaurant business that is filled with personal stories and anecdotes that tell us as much about the food as they do about Ina.
