Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch Hardcover | 272 pages Cooking / Regional & Cultural / Jewish & Kosher A New York Times bestseller! 100 updated classic and all-new Jewish-style recipes from a bright new star in the food community. These are not your Jewish grandmother's recipes! Jake Cohen, food writer and nice Jewish boy, has been hosting Friday night Shabbat dinners for the past few years and reinventing beloved (but sometimes outdated) recipes from his culture along the way. The result is Jew-ish, an innovative take on classic Jewish recipes that was created with the modern millennial in mind: both experienced and novice home cooks looking for elevated versions of old-school favorites. Imagine kugel turned savory with the flavors of spinach-artichoke dip 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!
