“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 ne memories with family, friends, and loved ones.”

So come join Jesse and Julie in the kitchen. This book feels just like cooking with a friend – because that’s exactly what it is.”

“When I cook vegetables, my goal is to showcase their natural flavors and qualities, so simplicity is key. I want them to shine, want to bring out their brightness and beauty. I want to highlight them as the star of the plate, the same way we do with proteins. This book, then, is an expression of my own evolution as a chef, as well as, I hope, a source of inspiration for home cooks to create and enjoy delicious, simply prepared vegetable dishes knowing that, ultimately, doing so is for the well-being of all.”
