Meet Bubbe Eleanor

What’s a bubbe?

Bubbe (BUH-bee) is Yiddish for grandmother. Mine is Eleanor Becker — mahjong champion, Dancing With the Stars correspondent, and the source of just about every recipe I cook on this site. The interviews, the cooking videos, the matriarchal narration of every Passover Seder we’ve ever filmed: all of it lives here.
