Welcome to What Jew Wanna Eat! Your source for home cooked (sometimes) kosher goodness. I have always enjoyed cooking and baking, but needed a new goal, a challenge, to get back to my culinary roots. So, I called up Bubbe Eleanor and pleaded for her to send me her best recipes. Stat! Bubbe is not one to dally, and imagine my delight when a few days later I had hundreds of glorious recipes in my mailbox. Brisket, latkes, rugelach, challah, kugel and more! Mazel! So I stocked my kitchen with schmaltz and matzo meal, and have made it my goal to try one recipe a week, with my own personal twist on each. No matter your religion, I hope you enjoy these tasty recipes. I know Jew will!

I can’t tell you how excited I am to find your blog! I’m half Jewish, on my mom’s side. So her and my grandmother were just amazing cooks and always made delicious meals of all kinds. Unfortunately when they passed away I was not left with a single recipe! I’m so excited now to try some of yours out…..the latkes are callin my name!
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for reading! If you have any meals in particular you want recreated, I would be happy to seek out a recipe and try my best to replicate.
Amy
Just want to say that I love the premise of your blog. I wish I had my grandma’s recipes, but I’m stuck recreating Jew food on my own.
Thank you! It looks like you have no trouble creating amazing recipes all on your own
Well this is going to be fun
Thanks, Anna! I have been reading your blog for years so hope you enjoy mine
Love your nutella rugelach recipe. I came across our guest blog. Good luck and I look forward to your recipes.
Thanks, Ada!
wow- i just discovered your blog- this is awesome!
my husband is jewish and as a wedding gift, his mom/dad/sister typed out every single recipe in the family, most of which first had to be translated from hebrew. it’s a huge mix of hungarian and israeli food from every holiday/special occasion. they even took pictures as they went along as illustrations.
i am SO grateful that they passed these traditions and knowledge and stories on to us to start our own family holiday traditions. i know that i am really going to enjoy following your blog and your jewish cooking adventures. thank you for sharing w/ us!
Thanks so much for reading, Molly! What an amazing and touching wedding present! I hope in some way, my blog becomes a virtual cookbook for my future kids and grandkids. So many recipes get passed by word of mouth or on scribbled pieces of paper, and I treasure the recipes my family has passed down. I am excited to share them with you!
Hey Amy,
Pleasure to “meet” jew, and your blog…didn’t think they let our kind in Texas
It looks like some good stuff on here that I’ll have to try!
Cheers,
Andy
Hi Andy- nice to meet Jew too! There are actually a bunch of Jews here in Austin. And it helps I am blond. Thanks for reading!
oh my. I’m in Austin as well and I would give an arm and a leg to eat your cooking! Awesome blog
Thanks, Marcello! No need to give an arm and a leg. I accept cash.
I love your site, recipies and the brand you have developed. Congrats on the cooking school decision I think you will be doing awesome stuff in the kitchen for a long time. I can’t wait to impress my mother-in-law with your macaroon recipe.
Thanks so much, Kevin! I really appreciate the feedback and support
Hey,
Love your Nutella rugalach!
Listen I have Easy Hebrew Magazines and we would like to add your recepie to our next issue!
You can view it in http://www.hebrewtoday.com
What do you think??
I hope you already work on a cookbook.
Would love to have all these treats printed on paper… As Goethe said:
“Denn was man Schwarz auf Weiß besitzt, kann man getrost nach Hause tragen!” (Faust)
(“What one possesses in cold print, one may carry home with confidence” – I hope the translation makes sense…)
Thanks! I hope to have a cookbook one of these days
I just found your website and before even starting to browse, I have to tell you I love the clever name of your blog. (Kinda woody allenish. I mean it as a compliment.) Off to browse around!
Thanks, Dudette! That’s the ultimate compliment!
Amy,
What a very impressive web site you have whipped up. I could fit most of the recipes I have attempted on 2 hands (with a few digits left over). Perhaps I will try some of yours. My Mom always says that if you can read you can cook.
I will look in now and again to follow your culinary adventures.
Ciao (Chow?),
Brian
Thanks, Brian!
