143 - NOSH with Micah Siva

Dustin Harter sits down with Micah Siva, award-winning cookbook author, chef, registered dietitian, and food photographer behind Nosh with Micah, to talk about her cookbook Nosh: Plant-Forward Recipes Celebrating Modern Jewish Cuisine. Micah shares the deeply personal story behind the book, rooted in her grandmother's passing and her lifelong journey as a vegetarian in a traditionally meat-heavy Jewish family.

They dig into the structure of the book, from the Shabbat matrix that helps readers celebrate with as much or as little effort as they want, to chapter-by-chapter highlights spanning breakfast, soups, salads, mains, baking, cocktails, and pantry essentials. Micah explains how she veganized classic dishes like brisket, matzah balls, kreplach, and chicken marbella, often using her grandmother's handwritten recipes as a starting point.

The conversation also touches on Micah's path into food, her time at the Natural Gourmet Institute, favorite tahini brands, and the labor of love that was shooting all the book's photography herself. She closes out with a rapid-fire round and info on her kids' book, One, Two, Three, Nosh with Me.

Key takeaways

• Nosh is a plant-forward cookbook reimagining traditional Jewish recipes like brisket, matzah balls, and kreplach using mushrooms, tofu, and other plant-based ingredients.
• Micah created the Shabbat matrix to help readers celebrate Shabbat at any energy or time level, removing the pressure to make it a huge production every week.
• The book was inspired by Micah's grandmother, especially a kreplach recipe they made together, and the grief process after her grandmother's passing.
• Key standout recipes include the savory pulled mushroom and tofu brisket, vegan matzah balls, beetroot baba ganoush with pomegranate, smashed cucumber dill salad, and tahini challah.
• Micah shot all of her own food photography for the book due to the high cost of professional photographers for debut cookbook authors.
• The cookbook includes thoughtful additions like a Jewish food glossary, holiday menus, and a cocktail chapter with Jewish-inspired drinks like a horseradish Bloody Mary.
• Nosh won gold at the IBPA Book Awards, the Golden Poppy Award, and a Zibby Owens cookbook award, all in its first year.

00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:07.040
And<00:13:02.480> so<00:13:02.639> I<00:13:02.880> I've<00:13:03.279> really<00:13:03.920> had<00:13:04.160> a<00:13:04.480> backseat<00:13:05.360> at<00:13:05.760> most<00:13:06.000> of<00:13:06.079> our<00:13:06.320> family<00:13:06.560> holidays.

00:13:07.040 --> 00:13:09.760

00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:18.880
And<00:13:14.639> in<00:13:14.880> 2018,<00:13:15.600> my<00:13:15.839> husband<00:13:16.160> and<00:13:16.320> I<00:13:16.480> moved<00:13:16.639> to<00:13:16.800> the<00:13:16.959> UK<00:13:17.200> for<00:13:17.519> 2<00:13:17.760> years.

00:13:18.880 --> 00:13:26.320

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:34.160
And<00:13:27.120> I<00:13:27.360> didn't<00:13:27.680> I<00:13:28.000> wasn't<00:13:28.240> able<00:13:28.399> to<00:13:28.560> get<00:13:28.720> back<00:13:28.880> to<00:13:29.040> Canada<00:13:29.360> in<00:13:29.600> time<00:13:29.760> for<00:13:29.920> the<00:13:30.079> burial<00:13:30.560> because<00:13:30.800> of<00:13:31.279> timing<00:13:31.760> and<00:13:32.000> like<00:13:32.240> Jewish<00:13:32.639> burial<00:13:33.040> laws.

00:13:34.160 --> 00:13:39.600
And<00:13:35.120> so<00:13:35.440> I<00:13:35.680> didn't<00:13:35.839> know<00:13:36.000> how<00:13:36.320> to<00:13:37.120> grieve<00:13:37.600> someone<00:13:37.839> I<00:13:38.000> had<00:13:38.240> been<00:13:38.399> so<00:13:38.639> close<00:13:38.800> with.

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:58.480
And<00:13:53.587> it<00:13:53.813> was<00:13:54.040> actually<00:13:54.267> the<00:13:54.493> holiday<00:13:54.720> that<00:13:54.947> we<00:13:55.173> made<00:13:55.400> it<00:13:55.627> at<00:13:55.853> at<00:13:56.080> the<00:13:56.307> Jewish<00:13:56.533> New<00:13:56.760> Year<00:13:56.987> of<00:13:57.213> Rosh<00:13:57.440> Hashanah.

Um<00:15:35.120> because<00:15:35.440> I<00:15:35.600> I<00:15:35.920> realized<00:15:36.320> that<00:15:36.959> if<00:15:37.279> I<00:15:37.440> don't<00:15:37.680> pass<00:15:37.920> it<00:15:38.160> on,<00:15:39.440> I<00:15:39.680> now<00:15:39.839> have<00:15:39.920> a<00:15:40.079> son,<00:15:40.240> but<00:15:40.560> at<00:15:40.720> the<00:15:40.800> time<00:15:40.959> I<00:15:41.199> didn't.

00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:44.240
If<00:15:41.680> I<00:15:41.760> don't<00:15:41.920> pass<00:15:42.160> it<00:15:42.240> on,<00:15:42.560> my<00:15:42.720> son<00:15:42.880> won't<00:15:43.120> grow<00:15:43.199> up<00:15:43.360> with<00:15:43.519> these<00:15:43.760> memories.

So,<00:16:12.880> we're<00:16:13.120> going<00:16:13.199> to<00:16:13.360> dive<00:16:13.680> right<00:16:14.000> in.

00:16:14.560 --> 00:16:21.759
Speaking<00:16:15.040> of,<00:16:15.519> you<00:16:15.759> gave<00:16:15.920> us<00:16:16.000> an<00:16:16.160> intro<00:16:16.399> that<00:16:16.639> relies<00:16:16.959> heavily<00:16:17.360> on<00:16:17.519> the<00:16:17.680> perspective<00:16:18.639> that<00:16:18.880> food<00:16:19.199> is<00:16:19.360> about<00:16:19.600> tradition,<00:16:20.160> culture,<00:16:20.639> stories,<00:16:21.040> and<00:16:21.279> community.

00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:26.240
Expanding<00:16:22.160> that,<00:16:22.480> breaking<00:16:22.800> bread<00:16:23.120> or<00:16:23.360> sharing<00:16:23.600> a<00:16:23.759> meal<00:16:23.920> is<00:16:24.079> a<00:16:24.240> fabulous<00:16:24.560> way<00:16:24.720> to<00:16:24.880> connect<00:16:25.199> with<00:16:25.360> one<00:16:25.600> another.

00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:33.360
I<00:16:26.560> certainly<00:16:26.800> agree<00:16:27.040> with<00:16:27.199> that.<00:16:27.759> And<00:16:27.920> you<00:16:28.079> cover<00:16:28.320> the<00:16:28.480> basics<00:16:28.800> on<00:16:28.959> how<00:16:29.120> to<00:16:29.279> use<00:16:29.360> the<00:16:29.519> book,<00:16:29.839> helpful<00:16:30.160> hints,<00:16:30.560> holiday<00:16:30.959> and<00:16:31.199> everyday<00:16:31.600> food<00:16:31.839> menus,<00:16:32.240> and<00:16:32.480> even<00:16:32.639> a<00:16:32.959> Jewish

00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:45.199
Can<00:16:39.440> you<00:16:39.600> give<00:16:39.680> us<00:16:39.839> a<00:16:40.000> brief<00:16:40.240> description<00:16:40.639> of<00:16:41.040> Shabbat<00:16:41.600> and<00:16:42.079> then<00:16:42.399> explain<00:16:42.720> the<00:16:42.959> matrix<00:16:43.519> you<00:16:43.759> have<00:16:43.920> set<00:16:44.079> up<00:16:44.160> in<00:16:44.399> here?

00:16:45.199 --> 00:16:53.519
Absolutely.<00:16:45.680> So,<00:16:45.920> when<00:16:46.079> I<00:16:46.240> I<00:16:46.560> wrote<00:16:46.800> the<00:16:47.040> book<00:16:47.600> wanting<00:16:48.000> to<00:16:48.240> appeal<00:16:48.720> to<00:16:48.959> people<00:16:49.279> who<00:16:49.519> were<00:16:49.759> vegan,<00:16:50.639> people<00:16:50.880> who<00:16:51.120> are<00:16:51.279> cooking<00:16:51.600> for<00:16:51.839> someone<00:16:52.079> who's<00:16:52.399> vegan<00:16:52.800> or<00:16:53.040> eats<00:16:53.360> a

00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:58.399
little<00:16:53.680> bit<00:16:53.839> differently<00:16:54.800> and<00:16:55.120> also<00:16:55.519> people<00:16:55.680> who<00:16:55.920> might<00:16:56.240> not<00:16:56.480> be<00:16:56.959> familiar<00:16:57.440> with<00:16:57.759> Jewish<00:16:58.160> food.

00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:02.160
So,<00:16:58.560> that's<00:16:58.720> why<00:16:58.800> I<00:16:59.040> really<00:16:59.199> included<00:16:59.600> all<00:16:59.839> those<00:17:00.079> things<00:17:00.320> because<00:17:00.639> this<00:17:00.880> book<00:17:01.040> isn't<00:17:01.440> meant<00:17:01.600> just<00:17:01.839> for<00:17:02.000> me.

00:17:02.160 --> 00:17:09.760
It's<00:17:02.399> meant<00:17:02.639> for<00:17:02.800> people<00:17:03.040> to<00:17:03.920> learn<00:17:04.240> and<00:17:04.640> expand<00:17:04.959> their<00:17:05.199> palate<00:17:05.760> maybe<00:17:06.240> in<00:17:06.480> a<00:17:06.720> dietary<00:17:07.280> way<00:17:07.520> or<00:17:07.839> in<00:17:08.160> a<00:17:08.400> cultural<00:17:08.880> way.

00:17:09.760 --> 00:17:14.640
And<00:17:10.000> so<00:17:10.400> Shabbat<00:17:11.039> is<00:17:11.600> um<00:17:12.720> essentially<00:17:13.199> our<00:17:13.520> Jewish<00:17:13.919> day<00:17:14.079> of<00:17:14.240> rest.

00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.640
So<00:17:14.880> it's<00:17:15.199> from<00:17:15.520> Friday<00:17:15.919> sundown<00:17:16.559> to<00:17:17.360> Saturday<00:17:17.839> sundown.

00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.360
And<00:17:18.880> we're<00:17:19.120> supposed<00:17:19.280> to<00:17:19.520> really<00:17:19.760> unplug<00:17:20.400> and<00:17:20.720> relax.

00:17:21.360 --> 00:17:25.199
And<00:17:21.520> it's<00:17:21.760> like<00:17:21.919> our<00:17:22.640> time<00:17:22.959> to<00:17:23.679> reflect<00:17:24.079> on<00:17:24.319> our<00:17:24.480> week.

00:17:25.199 --> 00:17:27.520
And<00:17:25.360> so<00:17:25.600> many<00:17:25.839> people<00:17:26.160> have<00:17:26.400> a<00:17:26.640> Shabbat<00:17:27.199> meal.

00:17:27.520 --> 00:17:34.320
So<00:17:27.760> like<00:17:27.919> a<00:17:28.240> special<00:17:28.480> meal<00:17:28.720> on<00:17:28.960> Friday<00:17:29.280> night<00:17:29.520> where<00:17:29.760> we<00:17:29.919> have<00:17:30.080> challah<00:17:30.480> which<00:17:30.640> is<00:17:30.799> a<00:17:30.960> braided<00:17:31.360> bread,<00:17:32.080> wine,<00:17:32.559> and<00:17:32.799> we<00:17:32.960> light<00:17:33.200> candles.

00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:41.200
And<00:17:34.640> we're<00:17:34.960> supposed<00:17:35.280> to<00:17:35.600> eat<00:17:35.920> with<00:17:36.240> people<00:17:36.560> that<00:17:36.880> we<00:17:37.200> like<00:17:37.520> mostly<00:17:37.840> or<00:17:38.160> at<00:17:38.480> least<00:17:38.800> love<00:17:39.120> hopefully<00:17:39.440> like<00:17:39.760> or<00:17:40.080> tolerate.

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.840
And<00:17:41.440> then<00:17:41.679> on<00:17:41.919> Saturday,<00:17:42.559> if<00:17:42.799> you<00:17:43.200> truly<00:17:43.679> follow<00:17:44.000> it<00:17:44.080> by<00:17:44.240> the<00:17:44.400> book,<00:17:44.640> you<00:17:44.799> don't<00:17:44.880> use<00:17:45.120> electricity<00:17:45.760> and<00:17:45.919> it's<00:17:46.160> totally<00:17:46.400> an<00:17:46.640> unplugged<00:17:47.200> way.

00:17:47.840 --> 00:17:53.919
Me<00:17:48.000> as<00:17:48.160> a<00:17:48.320> millennial<00:17:48.799> woman<00:17:49.039> who's<00:17:49.360> addicted<00:17:49.679> to<00:17:49.840> her<00:17:50.080> phone,<00:17:50.720> I<00:17:50.960> have<00:17:51.120> dinner<00:17:51.360> on<00:17:51.600> Friday<00:17:51.919> night<00:17:52.160> and<00:17:52.320> that's<00:17:52.559> as<00:17:52.799> far<00:17:52.960> as<00:17:53.120> I<00:17:53.360> can<00:17:53.520> go.

00:17:53.919 --> 00:17:58.240
Sure.<00:17:54.720> Because<00:17:54.960> I<00:17:55.120> also<00:17:55.280> have<00:17:55.360> to<00:17:55.520> drive<00:17:55.679> my<00:17:55.840> kid<00:17:56.080> to<00:17:56.480> swim<00:17:56.799> class<00:17:56.960> on<00:17:57.280> Saturdays.

00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:05.200
But<00:17:58.640> that's<00:17:58.960> what<00:17:59.200> Shabbat<00:17:59.679> is.<00:18:00.400> And<00:18:00.880> it's<00:18:01.120> it's<00:18:01.440> a<00:18:01.600> really<00:18:01.840> special<00:18:02.960> time<00:18:03.360> for<00:18:04.240> my<00:18:04.480> husband<00:18:04.799> and<00:18:04.960> I.

00:48:52.880 --> 00:49:01.359
And<00:48:53.040> so<00:48:54.079> it<00:48:54.400> it<00:48:54.640> comes<00:48:54.800> out<00:48:54.960> of<00:48:55.040> the<00:48:55.200> pocket<00:48:55.599> of<00:48:55.920> the<00:48:56.480> the<00:48:56.960> author<00:48:57.839> and<00:48:59.119> if<00:48:59.440> the<00:48:59.599> advance<00:48:59.920> even<00:49:00.160> covers<00:49:00.400> it.

00:49:01.359 --> 00:49:06.640
And<00:49:01.520> so<00:49:02.000> I<00:49:02.880> for<00:49:03.200> those<00:49:03.680> listening,<00:49:04.400> cookbooks<00:49:05.040> make<00:49:05.200> you<00:49:05.359> roughly<00:49:05.680> no<00:49:06.000> money.

00:49:13.520 --> 00:49:22.240
