Outstanding Cookbook for Comfort Food

This has great recipes for basic, good, old-fashioned comfort food . . . . and it's hilarious to boot!!!

Wonderful cookbook

This is a wonderful cookbook and easy too! I've made the brisket, chicken soup and some other recipes. Brings back memories of my time with my Bubbi!!

a must have for any yiddeshe mama (or papa)

I cannot be more enthusiastic about this book. If you want all the yiddish basics, thoughtfully brought together in one book... this is it! For me it is a dream come true... it is the research I would have loved to do, had I the time (well, he saved me the trouble!)In a time when all the classics are being jazzed up for a contemporary palette... to have these classics simple and unadulterated (possibilities of family variations aside) on record (right down to the shmaltz!) is a gift for all of us!You won't be dissapointed! mmmmmmmmmm!
