Description
On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Daphne Subar, founder of Subarzsweets. Subar launched her company–a unique online bakery and gifting service–in 2016, after practicing law for 26 years.
“I love to bake, I love to cook and I would always be experimenting in the kitchen,” Subar explains. “It was really my [three] daughters who encouraged me–almost challenged me–to leave the practice of law and launch a bakery.”
The business offers one signature treat in a variety of flavors and sizes. Subarz combines the sweetness and fun of a cookie with the crunch of mandel bread, which is often described as Jewish biscotti.
“We have chocolate almond, peanut butter, matcha, lavender, all sorts of really fun flavors,” Subar says.
While Subar feels like the mandel bread component is a bit of a tribute to her heritage, her baking experiments were a result of her oldest daughter’s severe food allergies; she wanted her daughter to have something she could eat. Not only did Subar succeed, she created a treat everyone in her family loves … and embarked on a fun and fulfilling entrepreneurial adventure.
Subar talks about her career change, cooking experiments, and more. She also shares her brisket recipe, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts. Even though Subar is a vegetarian, she still makes brisket four times a year, usually for Jewish holidays and celebrations. It’s everyone in her family’s favorite.
