"Treyf: My Life as an Unorthodox Outlaw" by Elissa Altman
Yes, the James Beard Award winning author Elissa Altman has transgressed: she has eaten pork ribs, shrimp in lobster sauce, and many other foods known as “treyf,” as they do not satisfy the conditions of Jewish law. In her taste bud-tantalizing memoir, she explores both her “forbidden foods” history and her colorful family while detailing growing up in the culinary kingdom of Queens, NY in the 1970s, a time when cultures clashed, cuisines collided, and Old World tastes and traditions began to make way for the new.
