Jew-Ish

The New York Times-bestselling cookbook of fresh takes on classic Jewish recipes from a chef who is "e;the creative, youthful future of Jewish food"e; (Joan Nathan, James Beard Award-winning author of King Solomon's Table). 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 his debut cookbook, Jewish food can be so much more. In Jew-ish, Jake 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. 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 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.
