Chanie Apfelbaum

Born and raised in a kosher home in Brooklyn, Chanie Apfelbaum grew up eating traditional Jewish foods such as gefilte fish, stuffed cabbage, and matzah ball soup. Today, living just a few blocks from her childhood home, she revisits family favorites and reinvents traditional holiday dishes. Chanie’s creative twists on old-time cuisine prove that kosher fare is anything but old-fashioned. With five kids in tow, she celebrates her heritage one dish at a time, creating fun recipes with a modern flair and Middle Eastern vibe.

Chanie works as a recipe developer and food photographer. She is a contributing writer to Fleishigs Magazine and has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, HuffPost, Grubstreet, The Meredith Vieira Show, Thrillist, and more.

Chanie also shares her love of food, family, and tradition through interactive cooking demonstrations and workshops to audiences worldwide. You can follow her culinary adventures at www.busyinbrooklyn.com or on social media via @busyinbrooklyn.
