Simple Jewish Recipes

Whether you’re Jewish, a family member or a friend is Jewish, or you’d simply like to understand a different culture through food, you’ll find several blogs you can browse for Jewish recipes!

Food is such a beautiful way to experience and develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of all of the unique cultures that exist in our world, whether it’s our own culture or someone else’s. All of us take great pride in our cultures and traditions, and allowing someone to share that with you through food is truly where we can all connect.

In this list, you’ll find bloggers with traditional recipes, many Kosher, and you’ll also find a few blogs with vegan and gluten-free, options for those of you who need to follow a special diet.

What we love about each of these bloggers is that they celebrate their culture, which cultivates such a beautiful and positive experience around food.

Rebekah makes a whimsical, sophisticated take on Jewish holiday foods. What we love about her blog is that she also has tons of craft project ideas and elevated Jewish home décor inspiration. She focuses on the entire meal and celebration experience, which makes sharing a meal together with all the more enjoyable and also enhances the appreciation of Judaism.

Kugel Recipe (jewish Baked Noodle Pudding)

Sina draws most of her inspiration from her Middle Eastern and Israeli background and that means a lot of flavor and fresh herbs in everything. What we love about Sina is she always emphasizes how food and tradition is a means of connection.

She focuses on discovering ingredients, techniques, and ingredients recipes out there and ensuring that that can be made Kosher. Many of her recipes are inspired by Asian and Middle Eastern flavors.

Busy in Brooklyn is a Kosher blog that does a beautiful job of putting a modern spin on traditional recipes, with a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients with the occasional indulgence for holidays and celebrations. What we love about Chanie’s approach is that it’s all inspired by Kosher guidelines, without ever feeling limited.

Join today!There are few foods as perfect as these delicious little carbohydrate balls drenched in chicken soup. Matzo ball purists swear by the importance of schmaltz, aka chicken fat, in making the balls, but non-meat eaters (and less intense cooks) can definitely get by without it. Classic recipe available here, vegetarian version here, vegan and gluten-free versions here, slow cooker version here, but whatever you do, just don't buy it in a jar off the shelf in the supermarket. (Gondi, the Persian chicken and chickpea balls, are often compared to matzo balls and duh, they're also delicious.)

Sure you can buy your Shabbat challah at the supermarket, but you can also make this delicious egg bread yourself at home, if you leave yourself 3–4 hours to do it. The perfect challah is crispy and golden on the outside and fluffy on the inside. You can make it with a bread machine (see recipe #5) or without one, you can add raisins or even chocolate chips. You can also make it vegan. But whatever you do: Make extra. Challah freezes really well and also makes for some delicious Saturday morning French toast. For help with your braiding technique, watch this video.

In The Book of Jewish Food, Claudia Roden traced the origins of these potato-, spinach-, or cheese-filled fried pastry pouches – now a popular Israeli street food – to 16th century Iberian Jews. Try a basic potato and cheese recipe or make things a little more interesting with an onion and lentil stuffing. Or try making sambusak, a similar, empanada-like version often stuffed with beef, that makes regular appearances on Syrian tables.

Best Jewish Foods (for Hanukkah And Other)

There's little not to like about these Jewish casseroles, usually served on Shabbat and holidays. Potato kugel is basically a giant, baked tater tot, while sweet noodle kugels will make you feel like you're eating dessert during the main course (as they should — they usually use a lot of sugar). Feel free to have fun with these by adding cinnamon and raisins to a noodle kugel, or using sweet potatoes instead of regular ones.

Tunisian Jews are credited for bringing shakshuka to Israel, but it's unclear where exactly the dish was first made. (Some say Tunisia, others say Libya.) These days, the egg dish is popular in a number of North African and Middle Eastern countries, including Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, and Morocco. It's basically eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, but there are tons of variations. Classic recipe here, ultra-simple version here, Caprese version here, and a green version here.

Kids think Hanukkah is all about the presents, but grown-ups know it's really about the latkes. These little potato pancakes are fried in tons of oil to commemorate (one of) the ancient Hanukkah miracles. The story
