The Art of Jewish Cooking (Grossinger) has been and will always be a favorite of mine! VERY easy instructions and VERY VERY Jewish - lol. The only thing that you may want to substitute in the recipes -- the 'fat' type products (chicken fat (!) shortening) that can be easily replaced using any type of oil/healthy-type spread(s). I've used and loved the recipes and adore this book! 10 Stars ! ! ! The Art of Jewish Cooking

I had this book for years. The pages were tattered and yellowed. I never thought I would find a new copy. The recipes are delicious. I am so grateful that I found this book. I bought a copy for a friend. When I gave it to her she held it as if it were a treasure

This little cookbook has some great very basic recipes that I go back to again and again -- like gedempte fleisch -- it's the closest to my (fabulous cook) grandmother's old country recipe for brisket and a lot of other classics. It's got the real thing. The recipes for cucumber salads, chicken soup, tzimmeses, latkes - are excellent.

Some of the recipes are silly -- Americanizations from the 40s and 50s that must have been used in the Catskills -- but who uses all the recipes in any cookbook? They are like little glimpses of lod sepia toned photos.

I use this book often. It was the first cookbook I ever had (some boy gave the paperback to my sister when they were on a kibbutz ulpan and I inherited it).

Happy cooking.

I've had Jenny Grossinger's cookbook for close to 50 years. I love it because her recipes are very close to those of my grandmother's. I bought 3 copies - one for me because mine was falling apart from usage and one each for my daughter and daughter in law

I BOUGHT THIS COPY, AS MY ORIGINAL WAS FALLING APART. I STILL LOVE THE RECEIPES IN IT, ALTHOUGH I HAVE CHANGED MANY TO FIT MY DIET.

I bought this cookbook in 1969. It is very worn so I looked for a new one and am happy I found another one ae Amazon. Thank you. I have other cook books and the internet but this is an old friend. Thank you.

The Art of Jewish Cooking was nothing like the original version I had. It was a tiny, flimsy version that wouldn't hold up to a month of use in a real kitchen.

I received my first copy of this wonderful cookbook over 50 years ago. I have since bought more than 20 copies as gifts and replacements. There is not a bad recipe and all are easy to follow. Well written, well thought out, I highly recommend this book.

I have searched for years now to find a good meat knish recipe. The web yielded no good results and the other books on Jewish foods fell short. This little book delivers! I was first impressed with the mini index on the back of the book and immediately went to the section on Knishes, Piroshki and Blintzes and found what I was looking for. Other gems are the sections on Appetizers and Party Snacks (chickpea hot dogs, traditional chopped liver), Pickles (delicious Pumpkin pickles) and the very basic but classic home made noodle recipe. Definately a must have book packed with both vegan and traditional recipes.
