Our Big Kitchen LA, Food Volunteerism & Gnocchi with Chaya and Yossi Segelman
Listen now
Description
Food volunteering is a beautiful way to bring people together. It brings joy to the participants, as well as the recipients.  On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Chaya and Yossi Segelman, founders of Our Big Kitchen Los Angeles (OBKLA). At OBKLA volunteers come together for 2-hour sessions, where they prep, cook, and package meals for Angelenos in need.  The Segelmans talk about OBKLA’s origin, mission, and process, as well as food volunteerism and their recipe for gnocchi with meat and vegetarian options. Chaya has a nutrition background. However, it’s Yossi, who doesn’t cook, who gives detailed instructions on how to make gnocchi. Learn more at OBKLA.org and get the recipe at JewishJournal.com/podcasts. For more from Taste Buds, follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.
