## Overview

Jew-Ish: A Cookbook by Jake Cohen is a fresh, modern take on Jewish cuisine, blending Ashkenazi roots with Persian-Iraqi influences. Featuring approachable recipes like Saffron Latkes and Macaroon Brownies, it offers a vibrant culinary experience that honors heritage while inspiring new traditions.

## Description

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 and latkes dyed vibrant yellow with saffron for a Persian spin on the potato pancake, plus best-ever hybrid desserts like Macaroon Brownies and Pumpkin Spice Babka! From elevated, yet approachable classics like Jake's Perfect Challah, Roasted Tomato Brisket, Short Rib Cholent, and Iraqi Beet Kubbeh Soup to innovative creations like Cacio e Pepe Rugelach, Sabich Bagel Sandwiches, and Matzo Tiramisu, Jew-ish is a brilliant collection of delicious recipes, but it's also 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly a masterpiece, a book that has something for everyone
*by A***R on 11 March 2021*

This is so much more than a cookbook. So much more. Now, don't get me wrong, Jake Cohen's "Jew-ish" is full of wonderful recipes -- and they are as diverse, creative, and easy-to-follow as they are delicious. If you truly want to be stunned into a mouth-watering daze, just flip to any page of the book and look at the photograph accompanying the recipe. However, "Jew-ish" is not just an aesthetically masterful compilation of incredible recipes. It is also a story of self discovery through food, woven together through a series of colorful, heartfelt and relatable vignettes. Each recipe comes accompanied by a story, wherein Cohen draws you into his world of exploring relationships, community, family and identity through the preparation of food and gestures of hospitality. This is a book that will move you. It exudes Jake's trademark tongue-in-cheek humor, his infectiously warm personality, and his love for family, friends and food (and Judaism!). It is the only cookbook I've ever seen that will make you laugh out loud, and that at moments, will bring you to tears. I promise that if you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down. Most importantly, if you buy a copy for yourself, don't forget to buy one for your mother, too :)
