Eat Jewish

About this book

Carry on the rich customs and flavors of Jewish food culture with over 100 comforting kosher recipes, both traditional and modern. Food serves as a bridge connecting us to our ancestral roots and shared heritage. When we share food, we're also sharing our culture and history. In Eat Jewish, Jewish social media influencer Melinda Strauss (@therealmelindastrauss) embraces this connection by pairing kosher recipes with key stories and insights into Jewish life, history, and heritage. Addressing commonly asked questions about Jewish customs along the way, Melinda identifies and celebrates regional flavors drawn from thousands of years of Jewish wandering across the globe. Including easy-to-follow recipes for challah breads, dips, soups, dairy and non-dairy dishes, desserts, and holiday recipes, this is your warm, welcoming companion to Jewish cooking at home.
