Amy Kritzer Becker: What Jew Wanna Eat, Fun with Food & Drunken Honey Pomegranate Cake | TBWD Ep 45

Host Debra Eckerling sits down with Amy Kritzer Becker, founder of What Jew Wanna Eat and Modern Tribe, and author of Sweet Noshings: New Twists on Traditional Jewish Desserts. Amy shares how moving away from home sparked her passion for Jewish cooking, leading her to transform her grandmother's imprecise traditional recipes into a popular food blog.

The conversation explores practical advice for making cooking fun, approachable, and creative. Amy discusses why home cooks should not stress in the kitchen, how to incorporate regional flavors into traditional heritage dishes, and why adding vibrant colors can elevate classic Ashkenazi comfort foods.

Amy also highlights her recipe for drunken honey pomegranate cake and talks about her online shop, Modern Tribe, which features contemporary Judaica such as a matzo ball soup candle. She concludes with her core philosophy that food should always be about joy, connection, and sharing love with others.

Key takeaways

• Cooking should be fun and stress-free, focusing on the gathering rather than kitchen perfection.
• Traditional recipes can be modernized by incorporating personal, regional, or seasonal ingredients.
• Beginners should start with simple dishes like latkes before taking on complex multi-step recipes.
• Adding fresh herbs and colorful garnishes elevates traditional Ashkenazi dishes.
