From the films of Woody Allen to Joan Micklin Silver's Crossing Delancey, Jews on the silver screen always seem to be preparing, eating, or talking about food. Braun discusses the ways filmmakers use food to explore questions of Jewish identity, examining the significance of the family meal, and the connections between food, relationships and sex.
