A Compedium of the Best of Jewish Cooking, November 3, 2006
This review is from: The Best of Jewish Cooking (Paperback)
Subtitled with the description, "Menus and Recipes for All the Holidays, Traditional Dishes, Jewish Dishes from the American Table, and a Wide Selection of Adapted International Recipes," this book delivers. As a non-Jewish cook, I love the culture and tradition represented by these recipes - most especially those within the Holiday section, which comprises a large part of this book. As a cookbook collector, I love the authenticity of this collection (compiled by the Ladies Auxiliary of Temple Beth Israel of Maywood, NJ) and the clear, concise layout of the recipes. The way I see it, the simpler the layout, the more pleasurable the preparation -- so much of which is about love. As a mother, I've loved sharing these recipes with my children and family, and making Challah, Latkes part of our own tradition. The illustrations in this book -- lovely, detailed black & white line drawings at the start of each chapter -- are a nice touch, too. For both the basics and specialty Jewish dishes, this book is one of the best I've seen.
