A graduate of the Natural Gourmet Institute of Health & Culinary Arts in New York City, Micah honed her culinary skills in professional kitchens, including the Michelin-starred Dirt Candy on the Lower East Side. Driven to better understand the connection between food and wellness, she later earned her degree in Dietetics and worked internationally as a registered dietitian in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Micah shares Jewish-inspired, plant-forward recipes through her platform Nosh with Micah and is a regular contributor to People Inc., brands, and Buzzfeed Tasty.

In September 2023, Micah’s first children’s book, 1, 2, 3, Nosh with Me was published, followed by her critically acclaimed debut cookbook, NOSH: Plant-Forward Recipes Celebrating Modern Jewish Cuisine, featuring a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Adeena Sussman. NOSH was published by Collective Book Studio (Simon & Schuster) in March 2024 and has sold over 22,000 copies to date. It won the CALIBA Golden Poppy Award, a Zibby Award, and Gold in the Independent Book Publishers Association’s Best Cookbook category and was a finalist for the IACP Awards in Health and Wellness. While many food writers outsource photography and styling, Micah did the work on her own, showing talent and ingenuity.

As a food photographer and stylist, she creates vibrant, compelling imagery for advertising campaigns, and digital media, working with brands such as Nestlé, Bob’s Red Mill, Breakstone’s Butter, Manischewitz, Serendipity Ice Cream, Gold’s Horseradish and Mustard, Fox’s U-Bet Syrup, and more.

Not only a writer, but a passionate educator and community builder, Micah co-founded “The Tish,” a women’s Shabbat Club that donates all proceeds to charity, selling out every event and has donated over $2,000 to charitable causes to date.

She regularly teaches cooking and nutrition classes across North America, helping thousands of students reimagine their cultural foods through a modern, plant-forward lens, from brisket to pastrami, working with organizations like Honeymoon Israel, Taglit, Keshet, 70 Faces Media, and more. Micah was featured in a PBS Documentary “Family Recipes; Jewish American Style” alongside Joan Nathan, which aired November 2025, and has appeared on dozens of local and national news networks.

After five years in the Bay Area, she now lives in Chicagoland with her husband Josh, their young son Ari, and their sheepadoodle, Buckwheat (named for her favorite grain, kasha).
