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， and
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。
