“The Shuk Cook" NYT Bestselling Author Adeena Sussman: Cooking Through War & Her BRAND NEW Cookbook
New York Times Bestselling cookbook author Adeena Sussman joins Jonah Platt to talk Israeli food culture, Jewish identity, life in Tel Aviv after October 7th, shakshuka, tahini, kosher cooking, and her brand new cookbook app packed with Middle Eastern recipes using 10 ingredients or less.
What's it really like to be an American Jewish woman living in Tel Aviv for 10 years? Adeena — the woman behind beloved cookbooks Sababa and Shabbat — gets raw and honest about cooking through trauma, the surge of grief at Hersh Goldberg-Polin's funeral, and how the Jewish food community rallied just days after the October 7th attack.
She also shares the story of meeting her husband Jay on a blind date near Tel Aviv's Carmel Market, skipping straight to stepmom life at 46, and why she proudly calls herself an "American Israeli insider-outsider."
