Books[]
Hersh is the author of Recipes Remembered: A Celebration of Survival, which was a collection of recipes from survivors of the Holocaust.[1] In researching the book she interviewed more than 100 survivors and their relatives, in order to derive their “stories, food memories and recipes,” according to the New York Times. It is divided into geographical regions, and includes other memories of survival. Hersh added twenty-six additional themed recipes from professional chefs.[2][3] Parts of the stories from eighty different survivors are included as well.[4] As a part of her work with the book, she hosted sales of the book on QVC.[5]
In 2011 she wrote the book The Kosher Carnivore: The Ultimate Meat and Poultry Cookbook, which focuses on beef, veal, lamb, and poultry dishes that adhere to kosher laws. The recipes also do not use dairy.[1] The book has 120 recipes in all.[6] In 2017 she was the editor for the photographic work Still Here: Inspiration from Survivors and Liberators of the Holocaust.[7] Her latest work is Yoghurt a Global History, a historical look at the world's oldest fermented food. It was released in the UK in March 2021 by Reaktion Books and in the US by the University of Chicago Press in May 2021. She has also appeared on cable news outlets discussing her books.[8]
