  • Summary

  • Danielle and LaDerryl interview Reyna Simnegar, a Venezuelan native with family history dating back to the Spanish Inquisition. When Simnegar first moved to New York City with her future husband, her future mother-in-law worried her son would starve, and insisted on sharing her family secrets and recipes. Those lessons later evolved into the cookbook "Persian Food from the Non-Persian Bride." 

    In this episode, Simnegar also talks about how she and her husband embarked on their individual paths to Jewish observance, which led to her subsequent conversion, as well as the laws, customs, beliefs, and themes of Judaism that help shape their lives.
