why do you need sponsors? does it really take that much equipment to film a recipe? it’s just that your videos are so good and they would be better if they were shorter and less ads

Thank you for your question. An episode is like a mini movie which takes 3 - 4 hours to film and that’s if there is no technical difficulties. Then It takes many hours to edit and bring a 30 minute film into a 15 minute segment. We hardly receive payment for the ads however they help us in other ways with constant improvement and updates on the website.
If a piece of equipment goes down it is quite expensive to fix and/or replace. There are always changes in the Internet world and we must keep up to date to produce a quality product. When we first started you will notice the difference in lighting, setup, and many other details. We are very grateful to everyone that helps us out including the fans that make donations to the program to have their name appear at the very start of the episode.

Thank you Bubbe! I was just trying to make my holishkes and was worried about the rolling of the cabbage and ping! you came into my mind and I found you had a holishke video. Fantastic! I love how you’re so encouraging with the tricky bits! I can’t wait until my holishkes are cooked. Thank you!

Made this last night, my first attempt at noodle kugel, and it was totally great. Maybe a bit sweeter than we will do in the future, but my husband and I both loved it (it was his very first kugel ever). Will definitely enjoy it again!

Dear Bubbe,
I am a cook at a small interfaith church. There is such joy in feeding people! I understand why you love to feed your family, and why my Babci (Polish for Grandmother) loved to feed her family. There’s more to it than nourishing people’s bodies; by preparing their food with thought about what goes into it and with love, we give people a bit of ourselves, and nourish their whole beings!
Food is such a part of our lives and traditions. When I prepare and eat lovely Eastern European foods, I think of my grandmother and of family meals during my life. Food brings people together. When we sit down to a meal together we don’t just eat; we talk, we connect and learn to appreciate the foods and traditions of others, and by facilitating that we are, in our own way, building peace in the world. Your recipes are a part of that, and I’m so grateful!
Happy Holidays, and keep up the good work!

Chris,
Thank you so much for your email. I couldn’t express your understanding of food and how it relates to feelings and memories any better then you have.
Happy Holidays,
Bubbe

Your YouTube videos cmbined with chalutzproductions.com and the personality of Bubbe are a true triple-play!
I was glad to see the recipe for kasha~varnekas that uses the eggs (it is not on the boxes of Wolffs Kasha any more. My mother used to make it that way but on the stove. Adding some shredded carrots gives it a little bit of a bump up in flavor.
I hope to see many more video and text recipes in the future.
A Bobby Flay vs Bubbe “Throw Down” on the FoodNetwork would be super!

Dear Bubbe,
Hello, hello. What a treat to come across you and your grandson’s podcast!
I love it.
My question is a matter a personal taste. I just recently became aware of
the debate about matzoh ball soup — i.e. “sinkers” v. “floaters,” so now
I ask everyone, “How do you like your matzoh ball soup?”
So how about it, Bubbe: how do you like your matzoh balls, dense or
fluffy? Sinkers or Floaters?
Thank you
Take care,
Tanya
Tanya,
Matzo Balls should be floaters and be fluffy. Sinkers and dense is because either too much matzo meal was used or the mixture of eggs and vegetable oil and matzo meal was not allowed long enough to blend together (about 15 minutes)

Dear Bubbe,
I wanted to tell you how much we enjoy your show! Although we are still raising two of our children, I am also a Bubbe to our two Grandsons.:-)
My husband’s 95 year old Bubbe no longer cooks but we enjoy watching your show and then trying all your recipes as they are the same ones Bubbe Betty use to make for us. Thank you so much for all the enjoyable recipes!:-)

Can some of your recipes be made in a slow cooker. I cannot have a stove in my basement in-law suite.
Do you have a printed cook book that can be purchased
Cecelia XXXXXXXXXXXX
Cecielia,
You will have to test on how long these recipes will take in your slow cooker. It could range from 6 to 10 hours. It depends on high or low. Also you will have to be the judge for doneness.
Schnitzel can also be made however you would not have the outer crispiness.

Hi,
I was wondering what you make of some recent controversies. It was in the news today that strawberries are now being considered “unclean” by some because they attract small bugs.
Also not long ago, there was a big stink in the news over a restaurant serving a kosher cheeseburger made with soy cheese. I didn’t think soy cheese would be a problem since it is non-dairy. It may not be a traditional food but there are other non-dairy substitutes for dairy foods right?
I actually don’t eat kosher but the strawberry story in the news caught my attention today. Perhaps you or your rabbi could post some insight on this on the website.
Looking forward to some new episodes & recipes!
Your loyal viewer,
Elissa
Elissa,
As far as strawberries are concerned or any other berries. My mother many years ago gave them a quick rinse in cold water and then a quick rinse with boiling hot water, drain them, and then put them in a bowl with some sugar over it so that the berries won’t be too tart. Also by adding sugar it releases some of the juices and can be served with sour cream or yogurt.
However recently it was determined that this process was not good enough. Everyone should consult with their local Rabbi since they will have the latest information on the topic and be able to direct the proper method of cleaning.
As far as regarding the soy cheese being served with a hamburger. Everything 100% kosher should have a recognized kosher symbol and the word pareve on the side of it. That means it is 100% non-dairy. The reason why it was questioned is that it gave off the appearance of dairy being served with meat.
The reason is the same as with margarine on the table where meat is being served. Those looking at the table may think a dairy item of butter is with meat. By removing the margarine no confusion is ever possible.
Thank you for your email,
Bubbe
