For every season there is a baked good--challah for Shabbat, matzoh for Passover, jelly donuts for Hannukah--and Joan Nathan's The Jewish Holiday Baker can help you prepare the right pastry for each occasion. With the help of renowned bakers from around the world, Nathan brings you recipes that reflect the breadth of Jewish history and geography: kubbanah from Yemen, boyos from Turkey, and Ka'ak from Syria, as well as those more familiar strudels, bialys, and bagels. In addition to the recipes and step-by-step instructions, each of the 15 featured chefs shares a piece of his or her own story, from Edda Servi Machlin's memories of life on the run from Nazis in Italy to how the Mansoura family of Egypt ended up opening a Middle Eastern bakery in Brooklyn. With its fascinating life stories, background on major holidays, and great food, The Jewish Holiday Baker will keep you both well fed and entertained throughout the year.
