They're Back! The Forverts' Yiddish Cooking Ladies Make a Savory Old World Noodle Kugel

Our favorite Yiddish chefs, Rukhl Schaechter and Eve Yochnowitz from the Jewish Daily Forward are back with a recipe for a savory old world noodle kugel.

We've been publishing most of their videos featuring Yiddish-flecked banter while they cook traditional dishes.

Since their Est Gezunterheit series started in 2010h, we've published 24 of their recipes and mini-glossaries of funny-sounding Yiddish words connected to the recipes. (Look for Est Gezunterheit in the Keywords list in the left column to catch up on any that you've missed.)

Here are some of the Yiddish words that we picked up during this episode:

Leffeleh = teaspoon
Pintel = middle
Tzvorech = cottage cheese
Lokshen = noodles

Pitter = butter

Op-pregelen = frying
Tsforech = cottage cheese
Smeteneh = sour cream

Patelniye = frying pan

Opgoss = sink 

Oysegeventlich = exceptional

 

Enjoy!
