Review Quotes:

"Melinda Strauss's new cook­book, Eat Jew­ish: Over 100 Recipes that Blend Jew­ish Her­itage, Mod­ern Fla­vors and Fam­i­ly Tra­di­tions, is one you'll want to curl up with. The word that best describes it is ​"com­fort" -- the book is fun to browse and full of recipes that evoke warmth, famil­iar­i­ty, and home. One of the first things you'll notice about Eat Jew­ish is how beau­ti­ful it is. The pho­tos of the food are stun­ning. The illus­tra­tions are sweet and sim­ple, adding a del­i­cate touch. The font is clear and easy to read. It's a book that will look good on your coun­ter­top or book­shelf, and it makes a thought­ful gift for any­one inter­est­ed in Jew­ish food.... The cook­book offers new recipes for famil­iar dish­es and fresh ideas to explore. Over­all, it's a warm and invit­ing book that enrich­es Jew­ish food with every recipe." ―Jewish Book Council

-- Kenden Alfond, Jewish Book Council

Review Quotes:

"Eat Jewish is truly a unique publication. On the one hand it is a very readable explanation of the dishes that were common in the author's varied Jewish background, together with easy-to-follow recipes for them, and large color photographs of how each should look. On the other it is an in-depth explanation of the relationship of Jewish religion and culture with the food that is special to it. Any non-Jewish reader will find a truly enlightening explanation of the Jewish way of life, and the food that accompanies it. This is a book to be enjoyed and mulled over time and again. Get a copy."

-- Neville Teller, The Jerusalem Report

Review Quotes:

"Strauss's ability to convincingly convey her love for the subject into easily accessible recipes more than earns her a place on the shelf"

-- Library Journal

Appealing to just about every demographic out there Eat Jewish really does have something for everyone, whether you're a newbie discovering the wonders of sweet noodle kugel, a traditionalist looking for an authentic Hungarian goulash, or just someone who can't resist the allure of salad topped with falafel-coated chicken, Eat Jewish clearly comes from Strauss' heart and not matter who you are, or where you come from, you're bound to find food you're going to love here."

-- Sandy Eller, Jewish Link
