Modern Jewish Cooking: Recipes & Customs for Today's Kitchen (Jewish Cookbook, Jewish Gifts, Over 100 Most Jewish Food Recipes)

by Leah Koenig

Book Overview

From a leading voice of the new generation of young Jewish cooks who are reworking the food of their forebears, this take on the cuisine of the diaspora pays homage to tradition while reflecting the values of the modern-day food movement. Author Leah Koenig shares 175 recipes showcasing handmade, seasonal, vegetable-forward dishes. Classics of Jewish culinary culture--such as latkes, matzoh balls, challah, and hamantaschen--are updated with smart techniques and vibrant spices. Approachable recipes for everything from soups to sweets go beyond the traditional, incorporating regional influences from North Africa to Central Europe. Featuring holiday menus and rich photography, this collection is at once a guide to establishing traditions and a celebration of the way we eat now.

Everything is Wonderful!

I was given this book as a gift a few years ago and it's one of my favourites! Everything that I've made is delicious -- the brisket it the best, the chicken schnitzel is amazing, the potatoes latkes crispy the list goes on and on.
