Melinda Strauss

Melinda Strauss rose to fame with her Kosher Food Blog formerly known as Kitchen Tested. Over the years she has become a health coach, podcaster, influencer, conference organizer, business coach and amassed an impressive TikTok following where she shares the nuances of life as an Orthodox Jew. She loves to share her life about being an Orthodox Jewish mom with her family by her side. She showcases her passion for a kosher lifestyle while sharing interesting facts about it. The fun she shares about her lifestyle is inspiring to many to step out of their comfort zone and be who they want to be. As Melinda always says, “F.E.A.R stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. So it’s time to feel the fear and do it anyway!” She and her husband reside in Long Island, NY with their children.

Melinda Strauss has been a long-time supporter of Masbia through all her endeavors, from her famous annual Jewish Food Media Conferences, at which she has not only spread the word about Masbia, to her personal birthday fundraisers for Masbia.

“What an honor to host Masbia’s Chop Hunger and I can’t wait to watch culinary geniuses Naomi Ross and Micah Seavers cook their hearts out for one incredible purpose – to feed the needy! You do NOT want to miss this event so buy your tickets today!” – Melinda Strauss
