According to newspapers in Britain, Kate Moss has gone kosher-style — in the preparation of food, if not in its consumption.
An article in the Daily Mirror suggests that the waifish supermodel was inspired to go kosher-style by Stasha Palos — she is the stepdaughter of her pal Sir Philip Green (the billionaire businessman) and just wrote her own cookbook based on traditional Jewish recipes. And there’s talk that Moss may be planning a cookbook of her own.
Moss, it is reported, has been slaving over a hot stove making salt beef, chicken soup and potato latkes for her boyfriend Jamie Hince. Reports do not confirm whether or not she is in the process of simmering her brisket and gedempt potatoes for the Seder tonight.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
