5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all-time favourite cook books, January 29, 2001

This review is from: Yiddish Cuisine: A Gourmet Approach to Jewish Cooking (Paperback)

This book doesn't have the glossy pictures or fancy covers that you often see in cookbooks these days, but the content is superb. The recipes are beautiful, and strike me as authentic. The best part of the book, though, are the stories the author writes that put the food into the context of Ashkenazi Jewish culture. As a non-Jew, I found Sternberg's stories and sidebars both fascinating and intimate. I've other books on Jewish food, and this is the only one I use regularly.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a superb compilation of European Jewish cuisine, April 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Yiddish Cuisine: A Gourmet Approach to Jewish Cooking (Paperback)

I have enjoyed this book, both for its excellent recipes and its wonderful stories for about six years. Every recipe I've tried has been delicious (try the golden carrot soup -- you'll be hooked!). The stories, along with the incredible food, evoke a lost time and a lost civilization. It is a must have cookbook in every Jewish home, along with its companion "The Sephardic Kitchen."

This is a wonderful cookbook -- both for the recipes and for the rich cultural heritage it paints. We got this book half price a long time ago and liked it so much, we bought 8 more copies to give to friends and relatives. It's really that good.
