Amy Kritzer Becker on Modernizing Her Bubbe's Recipes

Food blogger Amy Kritzer Becker recounts her journey of striking a harmonious balance between preserving Jewish culinary traditions and modernizing them with a twist. She recalls being a kid amidst the bustling kitchen of her family, where she took her first steps in crafting rugelach and blintzes. Amy shares that her initial vision for her blog, What Jew Wanna Eat, centered around cupcakes, but her brother encouraged her to spotlight Jewish recipes instead. Amy shares how a pivotal email from a dedicated reader inspired her decision to leave the corporate world behind and embark on a journey to culinary school. The chef delves into her experience as a contestant on Guy's Grocery Games, recounting the challenges she faced and her desire for a rematch in the future. Amy dishes on her episodes of Served Family Style, where she and her mother reimagine her Bubbe's cherished dishes. She discusses the joy of cooking alongside her nine-month-old daughter and her aspirations to pass down the rich traditions of Hanukkah to her.
