This week, Kadi and Bailey review The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna. We talk about well-researched fantasy religions, the experience of living under oppressive systems, brilliant visual metaphors, and how dang much we want this incredible book to be made into a movie.

134. The Gilded Ones by Namina Forna

This week, to celebrate Hanukkah, Tom calls up David Hall and Andy Sherman from Natural Toonie to get a lesson in all things oily and delicious. What makes a good latke? What kind of sauces are they served with? What are the best fillings & toppings for traditional Hanukkah donuts/sufganiyot? How do you microwave a latke without making it soggy? Also, we take a brief detour into the history of Montreal Steak Spice, whose creator, it turns out, was a close relative of Andy's!

Do you have a favorite Hanukkah tradition? Did we miss something that you think absolutely should've been mentioned?
