"How am I gonna feed the people I love?" 🥰💖
This #FoodieFriday, we're looking back on New York Times bestselling author and #NiceJewishBoy Jake Cohen's visit to The Weitzman, where he shared his passion for creating meals that bring people together. You can watch the full event at our link in bio.
"I Could Nosh" by Cohen "traces his journey towards a deeper understanding of his Jewish identiy, and gives readers even more reinvented classics that they can cook any day of the week... With a whole lot of creativity, and a dash of chutzpah, this collection is a must-have for food lovers everywhere, whether they're Jewish, Jew-ish, or not Jewish at all."
