Bring fam­i­ly and friends togeth­er over deli­cious kosher meals from social media star Melin­da Strauss’s Jew­ish fam­i­ly kitchen.

In Eat Jew­ish, Jew­ish social media influ­encer and Mod­ern Ortho­dox Jew Melin­da Strauss (@therealmelindastrauss) pairs over 100 tra­di­tion­al and mod­ern kosher recipes with key sto­ries and insights into Jew­ish tra­di­tion, his­to­ry, and cul­ture. Address­ing com­mon­ly asked ques­tions about Jew­ish tra­di­tion along the way, Melin­da cel­e­brates the idea that food has no bound­aries and wel­comes any­one to make Jew­ish food and exper­i­ment with kosher recipes.

What this book show­cas­es most of all – and what binds it togeth­er – is fam­i­ly. Melin­da’s most pop­u­lar food videos are of her fam­i­ly recipes – whether they’re inspired by a Jew­ish hol­i­day, her daugh­ter’s favorite Sab­bath dish­es, or her par­ents’ and grand­par­ents’ recipes ded­i­cat­ed to their chil­dren and grand­chil­dren – which Melin­da is eager to share with the world. Includ­ing recipes for chal­lah breads, dips, soups, dairy and non-dairy dish­es, and hol­i­day recipes, explore Jew­ish cook­ing in your home kitchen, no mat­ter your skill lev­el.
