Jewish social media influencer and food blogger Melinda Strauss chats with Zibby about her debut cookbook, EAT JEWISH: Over 100 Recipes that Blend Jewish Heritage, Modern Flavors, and Family Traditions. Melinda shares how she found her voice online—celebrating Judaism, answering questions, and connecting through food—and how her social media community inspired this book. They also discuss family recipes (including her grandma’s famous Cornflake kugel!), how cooking became her creative outlet, and why EAT JEWISH is both a celebration of culture and a quiet act of fighting antisemitism through education and joy.
