Hot Mamalah

Jewish women are legend: the expert mavens, the wack-job meshuggeners, the "your-business-is-my-business" yentas, and all the others keeping you well entertained, well loved, and well fed. We know them. Now we can become them. Hot Mamalah: The Ultimate Guide for Every Woman of the Tribe is the Jewish woman's first mock-you-manual. This hilarious lifestyle guide both parodies and celebrates the strengths, idiosyncrasies, challenges, and triumphs of Jewish women in four chapters. Spoofing a menu, there are the cocktails, appetizers, entrees, and desserts of life--with humorous essays, witty recipes, and almost 300 images, including original illustrations.

Hot Mamalah is much more than an appetizer to your own happiness. It's an appetite for living, for having fun, and having chutzpah. It's about feeding yourself, your family, your friends, and your fantasies. It's about playing by your own rules, speaking your mind, looking fine, and saving a dime. It's about being sexy, dynamic, and audacious. It's about throwing a party wherever you go and celebrating whoever you are with all the mojo of the boldly beautiful who came before you, dishing up one over-the-top delectable at a time.

If you like being a Jewish woman--and let's face it, who doesn't?--you'll love this book. Give in to your higher self, your greater self, your more flamboyant self with Hot Mamalah. It's the greatest innovation since pink leopard print.
