Description
On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Lisa Brown, illustrator of Lemony Snicket’s The Latke Who Couldn’t Stop Screaming: A Christmas Story.  The beloved title, first released in 2007 and now back in print, is about an angry latke, who jumps out of a pan of hot oil and runs away. On his journey, the misunderstood potato pancake encounters various symbols of Christmas: colored lights, a candy cane and a pine tree. Brown talks about the book’s origins, the title character, and its all important message. She also shares her cooking practices, holiday traditions, and her favorite latke recipe from her mother-in-law. Find it on JewishJournal.com/podcasts.
