NOSH, Micah Siva. “The picture is of food I made after taking her class. The taboulleh has lentils instead of grain, includes blueberries and pomegranate Zatar spice blend. the other things are jackfruit shawarma and potato/onion kreplach.” I don’t need more books and I never cook with cookbooks, but it’s possible I should make an … More Nosh, a cookbook by Micah Siva
What interests me about the book isn’t just the thesis. It’s that, as he points out, people have seen this and written about it before. Decades ago.
