<p>"Melinda Strauss’s new cook­book, <i>Eat Jew­ish: Over 100 Recipes that Blend Jew­ish Her­itage, Mod­ern Fla­vors and Fam­i­ly Tra­di­tions</i>, 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 <i>Eat Jew­ish</i> 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." <b>―Jewish Book Council </b></p>

<p>“<i>Eat Jewish</i> 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.
