Oy Vey!!! What a week! In just under 7 days I have submitted my manuscript for Down South Paleo, celebrated my birthday, and am launching Yiddish Kitchen!!
Yiddish Kitchen is a labor of love born from complete desperation. Alright, that’s a little dramatic. But when we looked around for grain free Jewish recipes for the hol- idays (and everyday), we came up pretty short-handed. Sure there were Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween and Easter recipes galore…but what about a grain free challah for goodness sakes!? Jewish inspired foods are staples to many “Yiddish Kitchens” around the globe. But when you take away gluten and grain, those kitchens start to look…a little empty to be honest. We love our baked goods and cream cheese but without grain or dairy, celebrating with those foods gets a little complicated. So once we started brainstorming, we be- came passionately inspired to recreate some childhood (and adulthood) favorites. We wanted to take the traditional holiday de- lights and make them edible again for those with food restrictions like ours. All the reci- pes in this book are entirely grain and gluten free and have alternatives to dairy.
They are compliant with a Paleo and gluten free lifestyles, though if you have additional sensitivities, please use your best judgment. 
In the full version of Yiddish Kitchen, we have put together a menu for each one of the annual Jewish holidays to help you prepare as they approach. This Hanukkah bonus is just a little taste of whats to come. The reci- pes here are certainly delicious year round, so if you are craving matzo ball soup in the summer, be sure to make a pot! And quite honestly, when are latkes EVER a bad idea? Exactly. Never. So if you share in our frustration, we’re here to put an end to your kvetching. So do yourself a mitzvah and discover your Jewish favorites – but without the grain – in this fine book. Not Jewish? No problem (we won’t tell anyone…). Bagels never met a mouth they didn’t love (and who didn’t love them back). Want to learn more?? Go HERE!!!

Hi! I CANNOT wait to make the bagels! I went to whole foods yesterday but couldn’t find casavva flour – I definitely can’t use tapioca? Do you have a recommendation for a store or online source? Thanks!
Hi Kathleen, Tapioca is not the best pick – it sort of works but changes the entire form of the bagel and also the amounts of each flour. Look up Otto’s Naturals on FB – this is who I got mine through. They are still “setting up shop” but should be able to ship out soon. You can also look at your local Asian/Latin market. Thanks!!!
hello,purchased yiddish kitchen,wondering about yhe bonus downloads, dont seem to find that information.
thank yiu,
Diane
Hi Diane, the bonus materials are automatically sent out to you upon purchase – they are to be downloaded from that email. If you did not receive, you can message me at jennifer@predominantlypaleo.com and I can resend them to you. Thanks!
Hi Jennifer,
I did purchase Yiddish Kitchen today, but did not receive the bonus downloads. Can I still get them as well?
Hi Krista, the bonus downloads are included in the book – they were the Hanukkah menu and bagel recipe. You’ve got it all now!
Hi – I really want to buy the Yiddish Kitchen but I’m allergic to eggs. Are the bagels made with eggs? If so, do you think they would work with a substitute? Thanks and congrats on your book!
Ally, the bagels are not made with eggs, hope that helps!
Hi! I am keen to purchase this book but could you share what flours you use and sweeteners? We don’t really like the taste of coconut flour and cassava flour is not available here. Thank you!
Hi Serene, I believe Ottos can be obtained internationally through a few sources (you might message Ottos to find out more) – regarding coconut flour, there are a couple recipes with coconut flour but many do not have any flours at all. There are plenty of meats, veggies, sides, etc included in the ebook. Thanks!
Hello- do you know where I can purchase the bagel recipe from? The Yiddish site says its no longer doing the ebook and the hard copy will be out in 2016. I cant wait that long. any help??
Hi! I know it feels like forever!! Sadly we have had to pull the ebook from the market until our Spring release in 2016. I am so glad to hear you are excited about it, I’m so sorry you have to wait!
