12 Questions About Schmaltz With Jake Cohen

Posted: 12 Apr 2021 09:00 AM PDT

Jake Cohen's debut cookbook, Jew-ish, has the challah and latkes and matzo ball soup. But it also has biscuits with pastrami and milk gravy, kugel-ified mac and cheese, and pumpkin-spice babka. Which is to say, it's Jewish but it's also, well, Jew-ish—a refreshingly personal take on how traditional recipes fit into messy modern life.

"I get very heated about steering away from my family's tradition when it comes to many Jewish foods (just wait until you read my thoughts on brisket!)," Jake writes in the introduction. "But at the end of the day, we must celebrate any form of Jewish culture, old or new."

The 11 Best Cream Cheese Substitutes for Cooking & Baking

Cream cheese adds an all too familiar thick, creamy, rich tang to the cut sides of bagels, in between layers of carrot cake, in bowls of flavorful party dips, and more.

Some can be used as is with pleasing results, and others need a few tweaks; some will work well as a spread or in dips, while others can handle more involved applications, like frostings and baked goods. In general, proceed with caution when making full-blown baked cheesecakes and other cream-cheese-heavy baking projects with anything other than full-fat, real-deal cream cheese.

A Full Plate is a column about family life and the home by contributing writer Laura Fenton, who explores the intersection of thoughtful living and home design through a mother's eyes.


When I was pregnant with my son, a college friend told me, "I have one piece of advice for you: Don't buy anything new." He was a dad of two by then and knew how quickly kids grow out of things, and how short a time we'd actually use our baby gear. I was already a flea market shopper, but I took his advice to heart as we added to our home to accommodate a child: buying a vintage rocker and dresser to furnish our son's nursery and saying yes to all the hand-me-downs. Six years later, this "nothing new" mindset extends to almost every purchase I make.
