About

Journalist,
writer & cook.

Orge Castellano is a Venezuelan-born Basque writer and journalist whose work explores food, identity, and the long memory of displaced cultures. Shaped by the crossroads of Latin American and Sephardic Jewish history, he reports on the stories that live at the intersection of heritage, politics, and the kitchen table. His writing has appeared in Haaretz, Tablet Magazine, The Jerusalem Post, The Forward, The Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Times of Israel, Alma, Kveller, and Sun-Sentinel, among others. He holds a PhD in Social Communication. When he is not reporting, he is in the kitchen — which, for him, is often the same thing.
