Jewish Literary Voices: A Federation Series in collaboration with The Jewish Book Council

In celebration of Tu B’Shevat, the new year of the trees, join Chef Micah Siva in a conversation about plant-forward and eco-friendly Jewish recipes.  Simultaneously, Chef Micah will interact with participants doing a virtual food demo of a delicious Israeli street food called Sabich Grain Bowl with Crispy Chickpeas (with a Tu B’shevat connection!) Recipe will be provided.

Food is a central part of Jewish culture, and those who don’t connect with the foods of yesterday may feel as though a part of their heritage is missing. Nosh is the vegetarian cookbook for the modern Jewish kitchen, drawing inspiration from history through a 21st-century lens.  With the rise in plant-based eating across the globe, Nosh is an ideal guide for those looking to connect with and share their Judaism in a way that feels authentic in today’s landscape.

Micah Siva is a trained chef, registered dietitian, recipe writer, and food photographer, specializing in modern Jewish cuisine. After graduating from the Natural Gourmet Institute of Health & Culinary Arts, she pursued a career in nutrition and later worked for global brands, media outlets, and publications in food media.

About Nosh:

The cookbook features a comprehensive, plant-forward recipe collection spanning from breakfast and brunch right through to delectable desserts. 80+ vegetarian recipes including Savory Pulled Mushroom and Tofu “Brisket,” Chickpea and Olive Shakshuka, and more. Stunning food photography, kitchen glimpses, and enlightening sidebars on the history of Jewish culinary traditions.
