a brilliantly modern take on jewish culinary traditions for a new generation of readers, from a bright new star in the culinary world
when you think of jewish food, a few classics come to mind: chicken soup with matzo balls, challah, maybe a babka if you’re feeling adventurous. but as food writer and nice jewish boy jake cohen demonstrates in this stunning debut cookbook, jewish food can be so much more
in jew-ish, he reinvents the food of his ashkenazi heritage and draws inspiration from his husband’s persian-iraqi traditions to offer recipes that are modern, fresh, and enticing for a whole new generation of readers. imagine the components of an everything bagel wrapped into a flaky galette latkes dyed vibrant yellow with saffron for a persian spin on the potato pancake, best-ever hybrid desserts like macaroon brownies and pumpkin spice babka! jew-ish features elevated, yet approachable classics along with innovative creations, such as:
- jake’s perfect challah
- roasted tomato brisket
- short rib cholent
- iraqi beet kubbeh soup
- cacio e pepe rugelach
- sabich bagel sandwiches
- matzo tiramisu
jew-ish is a brilliant collection of delicious recipes, but it’s much more than that. as jake reconciles ancient traditions with our modern times, his recipes become a celebration of a rich and vibrant history, a love story of blending cultures, and an invitation to gather around the table and create new memories with family, friends, and loved ones
