Modern Jewish Comfort Food

Description: Overview A satisfying collection of Jewish comfort food with classic dishes and modern variations. A Forbes Best Cookbook of 2022 A Food52 Best Cookbook of 2022 Comfort food varies from person to person, family to family, region to region. As the author of Modern Jewish Baker and editor of The Nosher, Shannon Sarna has always wanted to tell the story of the Jewish people through food and continues to do so here in her latest book. Modern Jewish Comfort Food showcases recipes and variations that have shaped Jewish cuisine from around the world—including immigration waves from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, New York City, and beyond. Sarna shares many traditional dishes, and then provides exciting variations that will bring heartwarming comfort to the home kitchen. Her Basic Tomato & Pepper Shakshuka is cleverly interpreted into a deep-dish pizza; Classic Potato Latkes invite vegetable-focused variations such as Beet & Carrot and Summer Corn Zucchini; and a multitude of dumplings reflect the range of the Jewish diaspora. Sweets include two kinds of Israeli-Style Yeasted Rugelach, Funfetti Macaroons, and more—ready to complete the holiday dessert table. Modern Jewish Comfort Food will inspire home cooks to connect to Jewish foodways and explore the history of this diverse cuisine.About the Author Shannon Sarna is the author of The Modern Jewish Baker.

Editorial Reviews 05/02/2022 “What is so enthralling about Jewish comfort food is that it’s not a monolith,” writes Sarna (The Modern Jewish Baker), founding editor of The Nosher, in her exceptional latest. Mixing hands-on visuals, savvy tips, and tasty morsels of historical context, she endeavors to broaden interpretations of Jewish comfort foods, offering recipes inspired by the global Jewish diaspora, as well as the flavors of her Italian and Polish forebears. While traditional fare appears—chicken soup, kugels, schnitzels, latkes—modern twists on classic dishes abound (mac and cheddar cheese kugel, anyone?), as do seamless mash-ups of ingredients associated with Jews of Ashkenazi and Sephardic descent, such as the savory Syrian pastries called sambusek, which are stuffed with German Muenster cheese. A section of shakshukas, meanwhile, puts an international spin on the basic tomato and pepper dish—notably in a smoky vegan version with crispy chickpeas, a Mexican-inspired take with avocado and jalapeño, and a shakshuka pizza. As a “baker with a serious sweet tooth,” Sarna doesn’t skimp on the carbs or sugar: in a substantial chapter of desserts, Mandel bread—aka Jewish biscotti—is given the funfetti treatment with sprinkles and white chocolate drizzle, while a bright-tasting mango cheesecake with a coconut-almond crust is gluten-free and Passover-friendly. This invigorating work takes Jewish cooking to a whole new level. Agent: Judy Linden, Stonesong. (Aug.) Publishers Weekly "Helmed by Modern Jewish Baker author Shannon Sarna, this nostalgia-inducing collection of Jewish comfort food is equal parts smart and stunning. Recipe origins run the gamut from North Africa to New York City, and while there are plenty of classics—latkes, yeasted rugelach, Syrian sambusek, chicken soup, macaroons and more—almost every dish gets a delightful creative twist. You’ll be hooked from the first sentence: Sarna’s narrative is just as encouraging, thorough and warming as the recipes themselves.
