My food story is as rich and mixed as my family heritage. My paternal grandmother came from Nanjing China. She liked to cook all things Chinese: eggrolls, noodles, noodle soup, and meat stew. My paternal grandfather was an Italian- American. He liked Italian cuisine like pasta, calzones, meatballs, and red wine. My mom’s family is of Scottish, English, and Native-American descent. They came to NYC from New England. My mom is a good cook. She makes some of the tastiest meals from beef, lamb, and venison. On major holidays or table is full of food from all different parts of the world.

Flour
Water
Milk
Eggs
Salt
Butter
Pepper cheese

Mix flour, water, milk, eggs, and add salt
Knead, roll, and pull the dough as long as you can. (Long noodles symbolize long life.)
Cook in boiling water for 20 minutes.

Kreplach Kerfuffle

Anita Fein
Before my husband and I were married I invited my future in-laws to dinner. I’m Chinese and he’s Jewish. For dinner, I made and served fried wonton.
“Kreplach!” exclaimed my father-in-law.
“Wonton!” I said.
“Kreplach!”
“In my house, they’re wonton!”
He smiled. We had a great relationship until he passed away in 2009.
