Review: "These are nice sturdy cutters. Slightly smaller then an average cookie cutter but still okay. I wish they had a picture of finished cookies on box. I am not Jewish but made them for a Jewish family. I had no idea what they should look like so had to find pictures of other cookies to go by. I was pleased with the cutters." — Susan Hicks

Jew-Ish. A Cookbook. Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch: Bestselling 'Jew-ish' Cookbook filled with reinvented Jewish culinary treasures – because let's be honest, who wouldn't swap traditional matzo balls for a slice of Pumpkin Spice Babka?

Jew-Ish. A Cookbook. Reinvented Recipes from a Modern Mensch: Bestselling 'Jew-ish' Cookbook filled with reinvented Jewish culinary treasures – because let's be honest, who wouldn't swap traditional matzo balls for a slice of Pumpkin Spice Babka?

Review: "This is so much more than a cookbook. So much more. Now, don't get me wrong, Jake Cohen's "Jew-ish" is full of wonderful recipes -- and they are as diverse, creative, and easy-to-follow as they are delicious. If you truly want to be stunned into a mouth-watering daze, just flip to any page of the book and look at the photograph accompanying the recipe.
However, 'Jew-ish' is not just an aesthetically masterful compilation of incredible recipes. It is also a story of self discovery through food, woven together through a series of colorful, heartfelt and relatable vignettes. Each recipe comes accompanied by a story, wherein Cohen draws you into his world of exploring relationships, community, family and identity through the preparation of food and gestures of hospitality. This is a book that will move you. It exudes Jake's trademark tongue-in-cheek humor, his infectiously warm personality, and his love for family, friends and food (and Judaism!). It is the only cookbook I've ever seen that will make you laugh out loud, and that at moments, will bring you to tears. I promise that if you pick it up, you won't be able to put it down.
Most importantly, if you buy a copy for yourself, don't forget to buy one for your mother, too :)" — Amazon Customer

The Matzah Ball. A Novel: A best-selling Hanukkah romance novel that brilliantly intertwines love, chronic illness and deep-seated family secrets, making it a must-read for this special season.

Review: "It is SOOO refreshing and exciting to read a book like this - one that is deeply Jewish, with the kinds of characters, values, and terms that are so present in my own life — even down to that uniquely Jewish (Yiddish, maybe) cadence of speech, but also so light and fun and funny! This story was such a fun read but such a deep one as well. The author addresses the struggles of a chronic illness so authentically and sensitively. I was so excited to read 'Mr. Perfect on Paper' right after finishing 'The Matzah Ball'— before realizing that it isn’t out yet! I will, however, be eagerly looking out for it— I can’t wait to read!!!" — Danielle Resh

Review: "I love these. I’ve been experimenting with different brands for the last few years. I really wanted beeswax, something that didn’t drip a ton, and looked pretty. These are that. I love that they come from Israel, they barely drip at all. And usually only because they aren’t sitting right in the holder. If they do drip they clean up easily once the wax has cooled. I’d definitely recommend these." — A. Moriarty

Joseph Had A Little Overcoat: A delightful and interactive book to spark creativity and the joy of making something from nothing – a perfectly quirky and heartwarming gift this Hanukkah!

Review: "Love this story. It is interesting that the author feels he has to tell you the message at the end; the message he intended, as well as a few others, are quite obvious. I think readers should take whatever message they feel from a book and it doesn't have to be just the message the author wanted to put across. I like the message of reusing things in meaningful ways, being creative, not trashing something just because it's first intended use is no longer possible. I sometimes wish we still lived in a time where we fixed holes in things, darned socks, found new uses for things instead of throwing everything away." — christie babalis

Eat Something. A Wise Sons Cookbook For Jews Who Like Food And Food Lovers Who Like Jews: Perfect for food lovers who want to bring a sprinkle of humor and nostalgia to their Hanukkah meals.

Review: "I've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of their first cookbook and it delivered on everything I was hoping for. The recipes cover all the staples of Jewish American cooking that you would expect, and are written in an easy to follow manner that describes the "why" and "what it should look like". As an aspiring, but still not quite prime-time cook, this makes each recipe approachable and non-intimidating. Of course, the photos, stories, and organization of the book around themes that map to the events and timelines of growing up Jewish add equal parts humor and heart to the book. I found myself excited to flip through it cover-to-cover just to soak up in the narrative elements." — Madhu
