Here, at last, is a fresh, new way to think about Jewish food. In The Seasonal Jewish Kitchen, Amelia Saltsman takes us far beyond deli meats and kugel to a world of diverse flavors ideal for modern meals. Inspired by the farm-to-table movement, her 150 recipes offer a refreshingly different take on traditional and contemporary Jewish cooking.

Amelia traces the delicious thread of Jewish cuisine from its ancient roots to today’s focus on seasonality and sustainability. Guided by the Jewish lunar calendar, she divides the book into six micro-seasons that highlight the deep connection of Jewish traditions to the year’s natural cycles. Amelia draws on her own rich food history to bring you a warmly personal cookbook filled with soul-satisfying spins on beloved classics and bold new dishes. From her Iraqi grandmother’s kitchri—red lentils melted into rice with garlic slow-cooked to sweetness—to four-ingredient Golden Borscht with Buttermilk and Fresh Ginger and vibrant Blood Orange and Olive Oil Polenta Upside-Down Cake, Amelia’s game-changing approach is sure to win over a new generation of cooks. You’ll find naturally vegan dishes, Middle Eastern fare, and new ways to use Old-World ingredients—buckwheat, home-cured herring, and gribenes—in fresh, modern meals.

Whether you’re Jewish or not, observant or not, Ashkenazic or Sephardic, this yearlong culinary journey through the Diaspora will have you saying, “This is Jewish food? Who knew?”

The best, according to my husband

By Sharon Salomon on September 28, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

Started cooking from the book the day it arrived. Matboucha. Wow. A revelation. A little labor intensive but so worth it. The best, according to my husband, was the Hamut, a Syrian chicken dish. I was a bit iffy about tomatoes and lemon as a combination but I was wrong. The finished dish was vibrant and so tasty that my husband said it was the best chicken I'd ever made (in 48 years of cooking!). There's still some in the freezer, saved for a day when we need some more of the best chicken I ever made.

Delicious and fresh tasting results

By P Stanley on October 13, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

This is a beautiful book both in photography and in Saltzman's clear writing style. Amelia Saltzman's gentle hand holding through her recipes makes the recipe outcomes easier to achieve even for those of us who do not have Jewish cookery experience. Her stories and recipes gave me a deep respect and understanding for this historical and worldwide cuisine. I've had great success in recreating her well chosen recipes. I love her fresh take on handed down familial recipes. Saltzman's vast farmer's market experience shines through in most of her ingredient choices. This book was a joy of culinary discovery for me.

Beautiful, versatile, helpful, delicious.

By L. Lucas on October 9, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

This book offers a wealth of versatile recipes that are helpfully explained and beautifully presented. The history behind the recipes--both personal and cultural--is a great bonus that makes this not only a great working cookbook but also a fabulous read. I've already given several copies as gifts, and I know I will be getting more for the upcoming holidays.

Best New Cookbook in a Long Time!

By Marcy Zaslow on October 14, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

One of the best additions to my cookbook collection! Amelia Saltsman has written a beautiful cookbook where the recipes live up to what is promised in the pictures. The emphasis on fresh vegetables and fruits delight the senses. It is refreshing to find a cookbook book with a Jewish focus in the classic school of Deborah Madison and Mollie Katzen. A lot of vegetarian, gluten free, and vegan recipes are included.(Note: this is not a Kosher cookbook, but most recipes can be adapted to the Kosher kitchen without many changes

An open, warm and loving cookbook that brings freshness and excitment to Jewish holiday dishes

By A Book Junkie on October 12, 2015

Format: Hardcover

This is an inspiring, educational and modern cookbook that still manages to maintain old world traditions. I have made Apple, Pear and Concord Grape Galette and the Blistered Chicory with Tuna and Salsa Verde and they were both excellent. The directions are very easy to follow and the results do not disappoint. I look forward to cooking my way through this book throughout the entire year, celebrating each holiday with fresh ingredients of the season.

A Delicious World of Jewish Food

By Alison on August 25, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

I grew up hearing my mom say, "Jewish food is heavy and stodgy; we don't really eat that way anymore." I wish she were around to enjoy all the light, fresh, global flavors in "The Seasonal Jewish Kitchen." I love it and know she would have too. Oh, and the Matboucha (tomato jam) is like crack. I've made it twice already ...
