Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Tahini ranch

    • ethedens on October 16, 2023

      Very good, and did genuinely taste like ranch!

  • Spicy green sauce

    • ethedens on October 25, 2023

      I can't say I followed the recipe super closely, but whatever I made was delicious!

  • Sumac-pickled onions

    • ethedens on June 20, 2024

      I was skeptical when I saw the ratio of onion to vinegar, but they were in fact pickled the next day and very tasty. Not ranked higher because there is an upper limit on how high I can rate a pickled onion. 3.5/5

  • Sandwich schmear

    • ethedens on November 20, 2023

      Really enjoyed this. Would definitely spread on things again.

    • elk2145 on March 02, 2025

      Delicious. Very versatile and would definitely make again. Also uses pantry ingredients so very easy.

  • Za'atar bread crumbs

    • ethedens on December 11, 2023

      Not spectacular, but still pretty good. Easy to make and I really like the simple technique. Would make again.

  • Za'atar & tahini schmear

    • ethedens on November 29, 2023

      Really liked this flavor combo

  • Cacio e pepe matzo brei

    • tippi_dkityu on April 04, 2026

      Very tasty. N. B. Everything takes longer to cool than he says. We added chopped fried salami.

  • Barely-a-recipe baked Brie

    • ethedens on December 09, 2024

      Better with puff pastry, 3/5

  • Slovakian cheese spread (Nanny's Liptauer)

    • ethedens on October 28, 2024

      This was so good. Addictive. 4/5

  • Annie's honey-candied wings

    • ethedens on March 07, 2024

      Solid recipe. Not quite salty enough, greatly improved with more salt. We also wish we let honey caramelize more. One taster thought the wings should be deep fried instead. Either soy sauce or MSG might have also been a good addition. Would maybe try again but with substantial modification. 3.5/5

  • Broccoli-cheddar knishes

    • ethedens on January 05, 2025

      Wow, these were absolutely delicious and worth the effort. Recipe was easy to follow apart from the shaping instructions, but dough was very forgiving. 4.5/5

  • Creamy cauliflower-potato-leek soup

    • Bessp on February 18, 2026

      I made this recipe as written, except I left out the serrano pepper and added crispy fried sausage at the end. This was a very light version of a pureed potato soup, but we definitely prefer a richer, heartier style. Some cream and/or bacon would bring it more in line with what I wanted. If you want a lighter soup, this one is for you.

  • Broccoli split pea soup with chicken sausage

    • morleigh10 on February 14, 2024

      Very simple and high protein. I enjoyed it how it was but my SO said he'd like it better with ham.

    • ethedens on December 14, 2024

      This was so good and fairly easy. 4/5

  • Kale-tahini Caesar

    • ethedens on December 11, 2023

      The tahini Caesar is genius. No worrying about splitting your dressing or slowly drizzling in oil, plus it's absolutely delicious. This was super do-able as a fancier weekday work lunch, and that would be even more true if you nixed the breadcrumbs and just made the dressing.

  • Pickled celery tuna salad

    • GingerFoodLovers on September 24, 2023

      We enjoy the pickled celery approach from Jake's Jew-ish book in the little gem salad with radishes and tahini dressing. This tuna salad, using celery pickled with fennel instead of corriander, is flavorful and easy to put together.

    • morleigh10 on March 25, 2024

      This was a great way to elevate normal tuna salad! I only had half the amount of mayo the recipe called for but it still turned out really good.

  • Hillel chicken salad

    • ethedens on November 29, 2023

      Definitely needs the refrigeration time. Very good. Not my absolute favorite, but very good.

  • Turk-ish leek burgers

    • ethedens on November 20, 2023

      Really good. Maybe would have been better with pickled onions but we didn't make those! Sandwich spread was a highlight.

    • ethedens on November 20, 2023

      Really good. Maybe would have been better with pickled onions but we didn't make those! Sandwich spread was a highlight.

  • The art of the turkey club

    • ethedens on March 02, 2025

      Very disappointed. It was fine but not great, and I've definitely had better at restaurants. 3.5/5

  • Spring kasha (pistachio pesto kasha varnishkes with asparagus and peas)

    • ethedens on June 27, 2024

      Quite good and easy to put together, but not as good. Next time we might try adding ground pork or chicken sausage. I had it with goat cheese, other taster did not and I have to say the goat cheese does a lot of heavy lifting. Nice, easy vegetal dinner. 3.5/5

  • Summer kasha (charred cherry tomato kasha varnishkes)

    • ethedens on July 18, 2024

      "This is so good". Was very easy to make and well worth the effort. Would also be good with either some breadcrumbs or some toasted kasha. 4/5

  • Fall kasha (cauliflower-caper kasha varnishkes)

    • ethedens on October 04, 2023

      So good. Easy fall dinner. My only complaint is the number of dishes and parts of the oven used. It didn't take a lot of time, but that time was more hands-on than typical since things move fast.

  • Winter kasha (dilly cabbage kasha varnishkes)

    • ethedens on February 29, 2024

      So easy and so good. 4.5/5. Would definitely make again.

  • Ma'acaroni in a pot

    • lindsey_x2phf8 on March 07, 2026

      A staple in our home. Comes together in one pot and a hit with children.

  • Pomegranate-glazed lamb meatballs with herby Israeli couscous

    • morleigh10 on March 29, 2024

      Soooo good and very easy. Would make it again

  • Iraqi Jewish lentil rice (Kitchri) with garlicky yogurt

    • jillianefoley on March 19, 2026

      this was a big miss. clearly not enough water, and the rice and lentils took twice as long to cook (probably because it ran out of water and started burning to the pan). Also, zero chance onion caramelize even a bit in 6-8 minutes?? they’re barely softened! anyway the final product (once I added more water) was at best fine. weirdly bland. won’t be repeating

  • Flourless chocolate-sumac cake

    • GingerFoodLovers on September 24, 2023

      The cake is delicious and the texture appealing--that perfect spot between cake, fudge, and brownie. We love sumac and were very interested in seeing how chocolate and sumac play together. We want to try the same recipe without the sumac to see exactly what it's doing because its effect wasn't as strong or straightforward as we thought it would be.

  • Havdalah snickerdoodles

    • GingerFoodLovers on October 29, 2023

      Wow! We wouldn’t change a thing! Jake has elevated the Snickerdoodle!

  • Hanukkah marble-glazed shortbread cookies

    • elk2145 on December 10, 2023

      Delicious. Big hit at Hanukkah party, particularly the glaze. Make sure to refrigerate dough long enough and roll out thick enough or else cookie shapes will fall apart.

  • Crispy Persian rice treats

    • GingerFoodLovers on October 29, 2023

      We made this with sprouted brown rice crisps instead of Kellogg’s and it was delightful! Next time we might grind the pistachio to more evenly distribute their flavor.

Publishers Text

The much-anticipated new cookbook from the author of the beloved New York Times bestseller Jew-ish, Jake Cohen, a fun and inspiring collection of recipes melding traditional Jewish flavors and modern influences.

nosh /näSH/ - verb: eat food enthusiastically or greedily; eat between meals.

“Here bubuleh, I made you a tuna sandwich to nosh on while I get closer to death without any grandchildren.”

For New York Times bestselling author/food world darling Jake Cohen, noshing isn’t just a habit, it’s a lifestyle. Noshing is about hospitality, after all, whether that means keeping your fridge stocked with turkey club ingredients for the perfect midnight snack, or stashing a Big A** Lasagna or Braised Brisket in the freezer in case friends show up hungry and unannounced.

In the follow-up to his beloved bestseller Jew-ish, I Could Nosh brings Jake’s signature modern flair to traditional Jewish recipes that are soon to become everyday favorites and new holiday traditions. With this cookbook, readers can nosh morning, noon, and night, with creative, must-cook recipes, including:

Jake’s famous Challah recipe, now with new variations like Chall-zones, Pletzel, Monkey Bread, Babka, and Sufganiyot (jelly donuts) A whole chapter dedicated to Schmears to up your bagel game, including Hot Honey Schmear, Preserved Lemon and Harissa Schmear, and Za’atar-Tahini Schmear Latke Tartines with sweet and savory options Everything Bagel Panzanella Pomegranate-Glazed Lamb Meatballs with Herby Israeli Couscous Jewish Penicillin, aka chicken soup, plus recipes for Kreplach, Bondi, or Fluffy Matzo Balls Soupless Chicken Soup Kugel Fries—like kugel, only fried Tzimmes Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting Crispy Persian Rice Treats

I Could Nosh is the natural next step for Jake—it traces his journey towards a deeper understanding of his Jewish identity, and gives readers even more reinvented classics that they can cook any day of the week—whether that’s a quick, weeknight meal, or an over-the-top spread for entertaining. With a whole lot of creativity, and a dash of chutzpah, this collection is a must-have for food lovers everywhere, whether they’re Jewish, Jew-ish, or not Jewish at all.
