Celebrity Jewish chef, Jake Cohen, has been making waves since the airing of his new TV show, Jake Makes it Easy, on A&E’s Home.Made.Nation. The show, which combines his culinary expertise with his Jewish identity, has garnered attention from both his loyal fanbase and new audiences. In a recent interview, Cohen shared personal updates, including a split with his husband after six years of marriage and a move to Manhattan where he now lives with two other celebrity friends.
Despite personal changes, Cohen remains focused on his passion for cooking and entertaining. His new show aims to inspire home cooks to entertain with ease, showcasing main course and dessert recipes that are suitable for company. Even with his marriage ending, Cohen’s recipes with Middle Eastern roots remain an integral part of his culinary repertoire.
Throughout the show, Cohen infuses his personality and generosity, making his cooking not just about food, but also about community and tradition. While some traditional Jewish recipes are featured on the show, Cohen also introduces new twists to classic dishes. He remains committed to his Jewish identity and is not shying away from displaying it publicly, including wearing a Star of David necklace both in real life and on the show.
With the successful completion of the first season and his third cookbook in the works, Cohen is busier than ever. He continues to engage in social and political activities, such as cooking for Real Housewives star, Erin Lichy, and participating in political canvassing. Looking ahead, Cohen plans to return to Israel for an extended visit once travel restrictions ease. Amidst personal and professional challenges, Cohen remains dedicated to sharing his love for food and entertaining with audiences worldwide.
