Joan Nathan Will Cook Your Passover Seder – For A Price

No, she won’t cook each meal individually. And yes, it will be part of a mass produced roll-out of Joan-Nathan-branded Whole Foods chow. And no, you won’t have to cook a thing yourself.
Nonetheless, for the moderate price of $119.99, you’ll be able to feed yourself and several other loves ones and/or family members things like ‘Tunisian Carrot Laced With Cumin’, ‘Fried Artichokes Jewish-style’ (are we, perhaps, pandering to a certain kind of liberal Jew here?) and ‘Brazilian Haroset with Apples, Dates and Cashews’.
“Joan works with our culinary team directly to create the recipes from her book, and this is our third partnership with her,” Tina Clabbers Feigley, a publicist for Whole Foods, told me.
The doyenne of Jewish cooking has put her stamp on it, and even in today’s decrepit age of cynics and nay-sayers, that has to mean something. Is this an instance of co-branding bringing Jewish eats to a heretofore ignorant public — or a chance to score some cheap-ish Passover food while keeping out of the kitchen? You decide.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
