A master Jewish storyteller serves up food for soul and body. Rabbi Abraham Twerski, M.D., famed psychiatrist and author of over 30 books on self-improvement, addiction recovery, and Jewish philosophy, descends from a long line of Chasidic masters. In "A Taste of Nostalgia", Dr. Twerski transports the reader back over a century to life in the European shtetl. Weaving themes of courage, irony, wisdom, and struggle, his brilliant stories parallel the Jewish year in holidays, beginning with the weekly Sabbath. Complementing this spiritual feast, Mrs. Judi Dick, a highly regarded editor of numerous Judaica books, contributes her culinary expertise in recreating the traditional Jewish kitchen of yesteryear. More than 150 distinctive recipes, comfortably adapted for the Jewish mother in all of us, bring back the aromatic tastes of the Old Country, including an extensive Sabbath selection, an expanded Passover section, and time-honored and delicious treats for the Jewish holidays.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Taste of Nostalgia: Tales and Recipes to Nourish Body and Soul (Hardcover)
A Taste Of Nostalgia: Tales And Recipes To Nourish Body And Soul, collectively authored by Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski and Judi Dick, is an outstanding compilation of wonderful dishes. Delightfully written with the tactful intertwining of recipes and personal memories, A Taste Of Nostalgia features delicious recipes ranging from Egg Kichel - Eyer Kichel; Super Duper Chocolate Cake; and Rice Pudding; to Roasted Garlic Potatoes; Fruit-filled Mandlebroit; and Stuffings For Chicken. A Taste Of Nostalgia is very highly recommended to all culinary students and kitchen cooks, but most especially to multicultural and Jewish culinary collections as a perfect reference for holiday and special event celebratory dining.

Jewish Soul Food, etc.,

This review is from: A Taste of Nostalgia: Tales and Recipes to Nourish Body and Soul (Hardcover)
This book was quite interesting, with the stories and history included with authentic recipes from past and present. I found recipes that I thought were gone forever, and they were good, too! I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted to make some foods that Mom or Grandma used to serve.

Taste of My Parent's Stories and Flavors,

This review is from: A Taste of Nostalgia: Tales and Recipes to Nourish Body and Soul (Hardcover)
The recipes in this book are almost beside the point. I loved reading the stories and insights before each chapter, which revolved around the Jewish holidays and rituals. My parents (now deceased) were European and I'd heard some of the tales and reasons behind the foods before, but it was like hearing and tasting all over again! Quite nostalgiac!
