One thing that makes Jewish food so delicious (and endlessly fascinating for us food nerds!) is that it’s truly a global cuisine. Considering the many places where Jewish families have lived and currently live–and the myriad of stand-out ingredients that they cook with–Jewish food is easily one of the most multi-faceted cuisines out there.
From bagels to babka, pomegranates to tahini, there’s really so much to work with.
Every meal represents an opportunity to cook something new. This free e-book, from our friends at JTA, walks you through the Jewish flavors of Sephardic Jeweled Rice, Hanukkah Tostones, Rosewater and Pistachio Hamantaschen, and more.
