April 09, 2025 · 40 min

On this Passover episode, host Rockne Roll talks with Noah Jacob, a luminary of Portland's Jewish culinary scene, about the makings of a top-tier seder dinner. They discuss how traditional seder dinner entrees came about, how to liven up the holiday meal and the secrets of the perfect roast chicken. Dr. Yosef Rosen also stops by to talk about how and - and why - to make your own matzah this year and ways to make your seder your own.
