Sweet Noshings: New Twists on Traditional Jewish Desserts

by Amy Kritzer

No matter your religion, you'll enjoy these tasty recipes. I know Jew will! Growing up, Amy Kritzer loved to cook traditional foods with her Bubbe Eleanor. Whether they were braiding challah or rolling out rugelach dough, there was always tons of laughter (and a messy kitchen.) These days, inspired by Bubbe's best dishes, Amy puts her own modern twists on everyone's favorite classic Jewish recipes. She incorporates modern ingredients and techniques to make some of the most innovative Jewish creations ever! Her recipes have been featured in The Huffington Post, The Today Show Food Blog, Bon Appetit and more. Jewish food is totally having its moment. Sweet Noshings takes the ever-evolving world of Jewish desserts to the next level. With stories of life as a Jew in Texas, and plenty of kitsch, Amy's modern interpretations of classic recipes bring new light to old favorites and creates a whole new unique cuisine. You don't have to be Jewish to love these sweets; just enjoy getting creative in the kitchen. Over 30 delicious recipes -Chocolate Halva Hamantaschen

Won in the First Reads giveaway.

I've only made the macaroons so far, so my rating may fluctuate whenever I make a different recipe. I just feel like I've made better macaroons before.

This book made me smile! It's a beautiful little hard back with great photography and easy to follow recipes. The recipes are innovative and delightful. I made the blueberry lemon cheesecake yesterday and it was soooo good. I loved the author, Amy. I'm now following her blog for more yummy goodness. :) Definitely recommend to anyone who loves culture and fun food.

Loved the stories that were told with the recipes. Photography is excellent. I've marked several recipes to try right away.

I don't know exactly what to say about this book which is rare for me. The desserts look delightful but the title? I don't think I would feel comfortable having this cookbook in my collection. Change the offensive title and I'm all in.

Fantastic food done in fun ways, easy to follow recipes and a little humor sprinkled along the way.

Incredible recipes that are delicious and fun to make with the family! The black and pink cookies are a treat that the young ones enjoyed both making and eating :) I love Amy's blog, What Jew Want to Eat, fun play on words.
