The purpose of this blog is to explore
culture, food and gender. As a Jewish American “foodie,” born to a Ukrainian
mother, I would like to expand on these areas of research and focus a web blog
on Jewish/Russian mother–daughter food culture.
More specifically, this social initiative would focus on Russian
immigrants along with their American born (or “Americanized”) daughters to see
if, and how, food culture, recipes, and attitudes towards food and cooking
transcend borders and generations.
By using food as a foundation,
this blog will explore how American-born Jewish women of Russian backgrounds
relate to and understand their immigrant mothers’ ideas and practices with
regards to food. This food/culture/gender blog will highlight how important
food from the Russian-Jewish Diaspora is in shaping a society, a culture, a
family, and a woman. Additionally, the blog will be a forum for sharing and
learning about recipes from all over the former Soviet Union.
Enjoy and feel free to open up the discussion or add a recipe!
