Artisan is the illustrated-book imprint Peter Workman launched in 1994, and the publisher of Tablet magazine's Jewish food and culture books.

Workman Publishing started Artisan to publish subjects best told visually, through photography, illustration and design, with a list that covers cooking, lifestyle and gardening. Workman itself was founded in New York by Peter Workman in 1968 and stayed independent and family-owned for more than 50 years before joining Hachette Book Group in 2021.

For Jewish readers, Artisan is home to books made with Tablet magazine: The 100 Most Jewish Foods, edited by Tablet editor-in-chief Alana Newhouse; The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia, by the hosts of the Unorthodox podcast; and The Passover Haggadah: An Ancient Story for Modern Times. ModernTribe carries The 100 Most Jewish Foods, plus a 100 Most Jewish Foods jigsaw puzzle and a Jewish Foods sticker book.
