The Jewish Kitchen by Clarissa Hyman

A vibrant fusion of cookbook, cultural history, and travelogue, The Jewish Kitchen presents over 160 pages of recipes and stories from Jewish communities around the world.

Clarissa Hyman blends traditional kosher cooking with local ingredients—from Moroccan pea soup and Lebanese lamb meatballs to Israeli sufganiot and Passover raspberry sponge—to trace how Jewish culinary traditions have adapted across continents. Interspersed among the recipes are nine rich family narratives that explore themes of migration, identity, and connection through food.

With engaging visuals and a clear overview of Jewish dietary laws and holiday customs, this is a delightful and accessible book—kosher or not—that brings Jewish heritage to life on the page and at the table.
