Review
...to my mind, Bill Helfrich distinguishes himself as diner, traveler and bookman, so I have extracted from his arcana a cookbook and a travel book, both of which come highly recommended. The best cookbook of the year just past was, for me, Edda Servi Machlin's The Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews writes Helfrich -- Library Addicts, Dec 1981
The Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews deserves to be found in the home of every chef and cook and in use by every Jew. It is a treasured memoir ... This volume should delight the palate of every gourmet. -- The Jewish Herald-Voice, Houston, TX May 6, 1982
But the great value of this book is that it is an Italian cookbook...No one tasting ... caponata Ebraica...would think "how adaptable is Jewish cooking" but "what wonderful Italian food" - which is exactly what it is -- John Thorn Newsletter
Buying a gift cookbook this Christmas means hard choices...My own personal favorites are ... The Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews by Edda Servi Machlin... -- Jeanne Lesem, UPI, Herald American, Dec 6, 1981
The Classic Cuisine of the Italian Jews deserves to be found in the home of every chef and cook and in use by every Jew. It is a treasured memoir ... This volume should delight the palate of every gourmet (The Jewish Herald-Voice, Houston, TX May 6, 1982). This is a gem of a book -- The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, Nov 6, 1981
The recipes are a delight -- Hadassah Magazine, Dec. 1981
This book would be suitable as either a Christmas or a Hanukkah gift, and is one of the most intriguing collections to come along in years...Her book is rich in details of the daily life of the now almost extinct community of Tuscan Jews in Pitigliano, and she includes recipes from the unique cuisine developed by the Sephardic Jews, who modified Italian dishes to fit their dietary laws... there is no doubt about the value of this informative work -- Mimi Sheraton, The New York Times Book Review, Dec. 6, 1981
When you think of the term "Jewish food" the immediate immage is of massive beef flanden, potato latkes, stuffed derma, and runny chicken fat. But there other Jewish foods - cuisines from wherever Jews who observed dietary laws happened to settle. Edda Servi Machlin was born in Pitigliano in Italy's Tuscan hills. A Jewish population had thrived in that ancient town for more than two thousand years. The continuity of this community was broken tragically by the Nazi invasion, and its residents were scattered throughout the world. Mrs. Machlin escaped to the United States and brought with her a deep and loving understanding of the wonderful Italian Jewish cooking of her childhood. She has graciously shared her memories with us in this lovely cookbook, which is full of fond, bittersweet memories and sjplendid recipes. All the dishes are kosher and have been adapted to the American kitchen. This is a sensitive and delectable book for Jews and non-Jews alike -- Anthony Dias Blue, Sausalito Revue, March 1982
