A New York Times bestseller!

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.

Review

“Jake Cohen is the creative, youthful future of Jewish food. There is a thrill in reading and cooking from a book by someone you can hardly keep up with—he is SO alive, as is his food!” —Joan Nathan, James Beard Award-winning author, most recently of King Solomon’s Table “Jew-ish is a wonderful celebration of identity. Jake's recipes are memorable, packed with flavor, and filled with joy.” —Michael Solomonov, chef and co-owner of Zahav “With his killer cooking chops and innate understanding of how to create community—be it at the table or on TikTok—Jake Cohen has created a thoroughly modern cookbook for our times. With his deft, doable, delicious takes on Jewish classics, combined with a genuine talent for contextualizing his culture into something we can all learn from, you certainly don’t have to be Jewish to love Jew-ish.” —Adeena Sussman, author of Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors From My Israeli Kitchen “Jake Cohen is the modern master of menschiness!” —David Lebovitz, author My Paris Kitchen and Drinking French “I’ve long wished for a way to bottle up Jake’s infectious enthusiasm for Jewish food and delicious fun twists on classics to keep in my kitchen for excellent vibes and inspiration. And, well, this book does exactly that! Jew-ish is packed with the kind of bright flavors that will make any meal a party.” —Molly Yeh, cookbook author and Food Network host “This is a rambunctiously uplifting book, vibrantly full of warmth, joy, and deliciousness.” —Nigella Lawson, food writer “Home chefs and casual readers alike will be entranced immediately by his description of Friday night observances (aka Shabbat), designed as an evening of both gratitude and relaxation.” —Booklist “This fun collection will appeal to all home cooks looking for creative takes on modern cuisine with a Jew-ish flair, and anyone with a sense of humor.” —Library Journal —

Truly a masterpiece, a book that has something for everyone

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

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 :)

I've had this book in my Amazon cart since People featured the bagels with charred scallion cream cheese in one of their issues - possibly pre-pandemic? I made that recipe happily and even made the pickled onions. It was wonderful. I knew then and there I needed this book.

I recently was gifted a $25 Amazon gift card and I knew I needed to finally get off the pot and buy this book! I work at my local JCC now, and in my past year there I will sometimes joke I have become an honorary if unofficial Jew.

The cafe at work has opened me up to the delights of Jewish food. Falafel wraps, kosher brownies so fudgy and dense it should be a crime, and the most delicious hummus this shiksa has ever had in her life. I want to cook like that at my house!

This little cookbook makes me believe that I can, and even better. I'm not sure what I'll start with, but I have no doubt it will be fabulous.

Wonderful book! Not only are there beautiful pictures and easy directions, but the food actually tastes fantastic! I’ve been following him on IG for a while so I pre-ordered this book. It’s finally a place to see all the great things he does in one easy to find place. I was so excited to get this I preordered 3 copies! But I won’t return them, I’m just going to give them to my sister and my daughter.

There are everyday recipes and Jewish holiday recipes, both traditional and a little modern twist. I’m always looking for some way to change up the basic things I cook year in and year out and here they are! I have had the cookbook for a couple of weeks and it’s fast become my go-to book. Love, love, love this cookbook! Keep up the great work!

This book saved my marriage (jk)

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2021

I'm just kidding. But I've never liked (suburban US) Mediterranean food (grilled chicken with Italian herbs, be still my heart) and this book showed me what I've been missing out on. I'm eternally grateful to the author for pushing me into finally finding a decent brand of tahini, adding za'atar to my seasoning reportoire, and sharing the gospel of Little Gem lettuce. And I found some exciting new uses for all of the baharat and sumac in my pantry!

The author is *hilarious* so even the recipe descriptions are a treat on their own. I've made a few -- occasionally modified as being a busy mom requires from time to time -- and they've all been fantastic.

- saffron matzo ball soup -- what a treat! Who knew it was possible to improve on matzo ball soup?
- tomato cucumber salad -- I've started making a variation of this almost every day. Yay striving for 5!
- sour cream onion dip - it's like crack, but probably with more calories T_T
- pomegranate bbq chicken -- honestly I'd happily even eat it without the sauce, but WOW! the sauce is a tangy, fruity delight! I once skipped the alliums in favor of some garlic powder. Still fantastic. And my 4-year-old actually asks for this dish, which we know is the highest mark of culinary success.

I appreciate that the author thinks I'm capable of babka, but it will be a while before I make that attempt. But I'm gearing up for the everything bagel smoked salmon galette!

PS - where in the name of Gosh can I get amba in the US outside of New York City?

Much more than a cookbook

Reviewed in Mexico on December 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

It’s a beautiful cookbook, but not only. We find a story of recipes with a great selection of the best ones. It keep it simple -for example using recipes with few ingredients- but yet touches the expectation of a Jew cookbook (a traditional one) and a book for people eager to learn about the culinary culture. It has amazing pictures.
