Episode 674: Hanging Out with Mike Solomonov

It’s an hour with renown Philadelphia chef and author of Israeli Soul and Zahav, Michael Solomonov.  We hear about what he thinks puts the soul into Israeli food, we get the recipe for his deliciously addictive tehina shake and Michael and Francis swap disaster stories and take on callers as a team. Caller questions include cooking eggplant for moussaka, ramenizing noodles, being inspired by black garlic, and what to do with whey leftover from the yogurt making process. Plus, America's Test Kitchen investigates the quest to make the world's most disgusting jelly beans and the game it inspired.
