About the Book

"Yes, you can host a vegetarian Rosh Hashanah and a hearty, meatless Passover seder, especially with this book in hand."—Epicurious

"Many beloved Jewish dishes don't always align with a vegetarian diet—until now."—Food Network

Food is a central part of Jewish culture, and those who don't connect with the foods of yesterday may feel as though a part of their heritage is missing. Nosh is the vegetarian cookbook for the modern Jewish kitchen, drawing inspiration from history through a 21st century lens.

  • A comprehensive, plant-forward recipe collection spanning from breakfast and brunch right through to delectable desserts.
  • 80+ vegetarian recipes including Savory Pulled Mushroom and Tofu “Brisket,” Chickpea and Olive Shakshuka, and more. 
  • Stunning food photography, kitchen glimpses, and enlightening sidebars on the history of Jewish culinary traditions.
