Notes about this book

    The challah recipe must have a misprint. It says a total of 3 cups of flour, which is way too low for the amount of liquid. I added flour until it pulled away from the bowl and was slightly sticky, as the book said, but it was more like 6 cups. That being said, it was delicious! My DIL said it reminded her of the challah in her dad's Jewish bakery. No better praise!

Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Wise Sons' brisket

    • lsmedley on March 21, 2022

      So so good! Maybe should have cooked a bit longer than 3 hrs (maybe closer to 3.5 or 4) but the flavor was incredible! However, I had to cook the brisket in a big roasting pan because there is no way I was gonna fit an 8 lb brisket in a Dutch oven, even my 7 qt one. I just seared it in the Dutch oven and then deglazed it and added the liquid to the roasting pan.

Publishers Text

From nationally recognized Jewish brand Wise Sons, the cookbook Eat Something features over 60 recipes for salads, soups, baked goods, holiday dishes, and more.

This long-awaited cookbook (the first one for Wise Sons!) is packed with homey recipes and relatable humor; it is as much a delicious, lighthearted, and nostalgic cookbook as it is a lively celebration of Jewish culture.

Stemming from the thesis that Jews eat by occasion, the book is organized into 19 different events and celebrations chronicling a Jewish life in food, including: bris, Shabbat, Passover and other high holidays, first meal home from college, J-dating, wedding, and more.

• Both a Jewish humor book and a cookbook
• Recipes are drawn from the menus of their beloved Bay Area restaurants, as well as all the occasions when Jews gather around the table.
• Includes short essays, illustrations, memorabilia, and stylish plated food photography.

Wise Sons is a nationally recognized deli and Jewish food brand with a unique Bay Area ethos—inspired by the past but entirely contemporary, they make traditional Jewish foods California-style with great ingredients.

Recipes include Braided Challah, Big Macher Burger, Wise Sons' Brisket, Carrot Tzimmes, and Morning After Matzoquiles, while essays include Confessions of a First-Time Seder Host, So, You Didn't Marry a Jew, and Iconic Chinese Restaurants, As Chosen by the Chosen People.

• The perfect gift for Wise Sons fans of all ages, lovers of Jewish food and humor, as well as gift-givers young and old looking for Jewish-themed gifts for bar mitzvahs, birthdays, weddings, and more
• Great for those who enjoyed Zahav: A World of Israeli Cooking by Michael Solomonov, The 100 Most Jewish Foods: A Highly Debatable List by Alana Newhouse, and Russ & Daughters: Reflections and Recipes from the House That Herring Built by Mark Russ Federman
• A must for anyone looking to expand their knowledge of Jewish cuisine and culture
