Newly single, Jewish chef Jake Cohen is bringing his style of easy entertaining to TV

A lot has changed in Jake Cohen’s life since he finished filming his first TV show, a cooking show that incorporates but does not solely focus on his Jewish identity.

“Since we recorded, I have split with my husband. I am currently single,” Cohen said in an interview. After six years of marriage, Cohen has moved from Queens into Manhattan, where he is living with two other celebrity Nice Jewish Boys: EGOT-winning singer-songwriter Benj Pasek and comedian Alex Edelman.

Still, when “Jake Makes it Easy” begins airing on Monday night on A&E’s Home.Made.Nation, Cohen’s fans will recognize the effervescent Jewish cook that they have come to know through his best-selling cookbooks and Instagram and TikTok accounts, where he has a collective 2.5 million followers. And Cohen is looking forward to gaining a new audience, too.

“The most exciting thing about this is that it is going to be on cable and speaks to a different audience of people that are just as passionate about cooking and passionate about food,” Cohen said. “They haven’t met me yet and once they do, new people will fall in love with my recipes, which is the goal.”
