For anyone fascinated by Jewish culinary culture, look no further. With incredible elan, Ruth Joseph, together with food writer Simon Round, takes you on a mouthwatering exploration of recipes lovingly created by generations of Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jewish mothers for family meals and festive celebrations. The book emphasises the centrality of Jewish food to Jewish life, and showcases Ruth's fascination with the origins of ingredients and meanings of dishes. The book's 150 accessible recipes enable you to make authentic Jewish food without the intimidation. Chapters include starters, salads, preserves, desserts, fish, poultry, meat. There are also chapters on Jewish bread and Passover dishes, and a demystifying glossary of terms and easy-to-digest breakdown of Jewish dietary laws. Learn how to master everything from Holishkes (individual stuffed cabbage leaves in a rich tomato sauce) to the Blintz (pancakes filled with sweetened cream cheese), and Kreplach, which is served at Purim and Yom Kippur. In addition to its host of classic dishes, the book also contains modern recipes and plenty of vegetarian options, such as Baba Ganoush, Hummus and Falafel, to satisfy everyone.
