We are in need for a special recipe for Matzo Ball Soup. I know you know special secrets. I never knew a grandmother until my husband’s, ten years ago.
I talked to David Sax (“Save The Deli”) about it and he doesn’t have a recipe either. There was one in the NY Times probably in the 1970’s or 80’s that called for a bit of seltzer and vodka. I now now seltzer is for lightness and vodka instead of water to prevent development of gluten.
May a bubeleh arise and answer this request of a shiksa who grew up loving Montreal smoked meat (family history at the former Ben’s) and now is learning to make latkes and my husband loves matzo ball soup.
Oh, if you have it, please send it to David, too. Just so if we make mistakes, we can fix them over email and make a good meal for our spouses. A dank, Dee
