The Rabbi's Daughter: A taste of sweetness Hardcover – February 10, 2026

IntroductionWhy “The Rabbi’s Daughter”?It’s a title that’s been with me my whole life since I was a little girl.Over time, I realized that title came with certain expectations, but also with many opportunities. A few years ago, half-jokingly, I tweeted that one day I would write a book with that name. And here we are.I chose it with humor, affection, and as a way to embrace everything that’s brought me to this point.And what about the recipes? Because I grow up on Shlicus, They don’t come from a bobe (grandmother) or from secret family recipes passed down through generations. My school was life itself, what I saw at home, what I tasted on the street and in my travels.I only started cooking seriously after getting married, back in Argentina, while my husband and I were serving as community Rabbis. We had to feed the family something more than toast or cereal, so I began to experiment.I started with desserts, my weakness, trying to make sweets that were delicious, kosher, and dairy-free. Spoiler alert: they didn’t always turn out great (in the beginning, the amount of sugar I used should’ve been illegal). But I learned, I failed, I improved… and I discovered in the kitchen a place to express myself, care for my loved ones, and create something truly mine.This book is the result of that journey. Inside, you’ll find:Dairy-free (parve) dessert recipes, perfect for ending a meat meal or for anyone who’s lactose intolerant.A few dairy and vegan options, some baked goods… and a savory bonus, because yes—it’s my book and I do what I want.A conversion chart, so everything makes sense no matter where you are.A simple guide to the blessings before meals.And, of course, a small piece of my story.Because this isn’t just a cookbook.It’s an invitation to reconnect with our roots, to laugh a little along the way, and to dare to do things our own way.Bon appétit!Chaya.
