Jewish Family Service LA (JFSLA) has published a collection of recipes and family stories from 40 chefs, influencers and restaurants in New York and Los Angeles. “Jewish Family Recipes: Stories & Recipes From Our Table to Yours,” is also a gift that gives back. Sales benefit JFSLA’s Food & Hunger Programs, serving people regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, or religion.
The idea for the cookbook, which has been selling like hotcakes since it became available online in December, originated when the pandemic took away in-person fundraising events for the social services agency. In turn, its volunteers came up with a new recipe for giving. With so many people homebound and the growing popular interest in hobbies like cooking, members of the Young Leaders Executive Committee, including two graduates of Beverly Hills High School, decided to create a special community cookbook to benefit Angelenos.
