Strap on your apron, reinvent tradition, and fill your Jewish kitchen with global flavors.

The Modern Jewish Table is the new, essential kosher cookbook for every Jewish home, whether you are a reluctant cook or a dedicated balabusta. Bringing their fun, upbeat, and infectious brand of energy to the kitchen, self-proclaimed Jewish Princesses Tracey Fine and Georgie Tarn don their high heels and aprons to revamp the kosher kitchen and raise the culinary bar. It’s no longer just chopped liver, chicken soup, and matzo bread; instead, learn to make Mock Chopped Liver, Sephardi Saffron Chicken Soup, and Princess Pitta Bread!

Writing from the point of view of the average home cook, the Jewish Princesses dish out their witty know-how and inspire amateur cooks to create simple and hip recipes, with all the short cuts included, even as they entice “professional” home cooks to revitalize traditional Jewish fare with uniquely global flavors. Learn to make delightful pareve desserts and meals fit for a Passover feast, as well as:

• Street Food Gefilte Fish Bites
• Crème Fraiche Vegetable Latkes
• Cohen-Tucky Baked Chicken
• Princess Pad Thai
• Kunafa Middle Eastern Cheese Cake
• Cuban Sweet Corn Soufflé, and more!

Complete with stunning photography, outrageous tips, and a dash of chutzpah, The Modern Jewish Table introduces innovative dishes that will soon become Jewish traditions for the future.

"This book is a must for ever Princess to have in her kitchen. I love the recipes because they are so easy and produce the most amazing results. The Modern Jewish Table is my 'go-to' book for Jewish recipes."
—Dorit Kemsley, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
"Londoners Fine and Tarn—self-styled as the Jewish Princesses—collaborate on a 100-recipe kosher collection, complete with riffs on tradition and no small number of jokes and Yiddish-isms. . . . Great tips and creative makeovers of recipes, from must-have gadgets and how to set the table to newer versions of gefilte fish, chicken soup, and borscht (respectively, gefilte frishen; red cabbage, beet, and apple borscht; and Sephardic saffron chicken soup with fragrant matzo balls). Narratives are witty and personal, intended for easy browsing. . . . This is an entertaining, easy segue into new traditions."
—Booklist
"With tongues firmly in their cheeks, Fine and Tarn serve up Princess Pearls of wisdom as their alter egos, the Jewish Princesses. Recipes, with intros that will bring a smile to your face, give a tasty twist on Jewish classics, fusing trends with tradition and inventing their own new ones like Cohen-tucky baked chicken. A useful addition to your kitchen library."
