Bishul Akum Convert

Question:

Can a convert eat food cooked by their parents?

 

Answer:

Thank you for your question.

This is a sensitive and tricky situation, because there are foods that can be problematic for a Jew to eat when they are cooked by a non-Jew, even if the utensils and ingredients are kosher. It would be a good idea for you to learn the pertinent laws with this, and the guidelines of when such foods are permitted and when not.

Best wishes
