First published edition of a comprehensive rendition of Jewish recipes by Gloria Kaufer Greene. Gloria Kaufer Greene masterfully combines the delicious foods, the rich traditions, and the interesting histories that are essential components of every Jewish holiday in one cookbook. Readers will learn not only how to make a delicious Passover Seder, but why each dish is prepared for this annual celebration, and where these recipes originated. The recipes vary from classic Jewish favorites to brand new discoveries with international flair. It is a wonderful resource for chefs, whether they are preparing their very first Hanukkah feast or putting the finishing touches on the weekly Sabbath dinner. An excellent explanation of the jewish holidays and jewish culture through food. This book has some great recipes. They are affordable, innovative and useful for everyday cooking too.

Review: I don’t buy a lot of recipe books — but when I saw a friend at the grocery store pull out her copy of this book, I had to ask why she brought a cookbook shopping with her. She said she loved this book, made a lot of its recipes around every holiday, and it was just easier than making a list. AND that she loved this book so much that when she accidentally left her first copy in the produce section, never to be seen again, she almost immediately bought another copy. Such an endorsement… and I need every kitchen inspiration I can get (as a not-enthusiatic cook). Every recipe is useful and a keeper — and most are good anytime of the year. Cous-cous aux sept legumes is a family favorite (without the lamb — we’ve even made a vegetarian version). Finally, it is a recipe book for everyone, despite the “Jewish” part of the title.
