Jewish Holiday Cooking: A Food Lovers Treasury of Classic and Improvisations

Refreshing new twist on the old family recipes! A beautiful book and easy to follow.

kosher for today

I especiall y like the improvisation part. Here, In Gainesville, FL there is no kosher restaurant and kosher food is not easy to find. One ca never get a fresh kosher chicken here, only frozen. The bok could use a few e-mail addresses where one can get kosher foods shipped wit h their price and estimated amount of potage for shipping. Thanks.

Amazing Cookbook for anyone

This is an amazing general cookbook and not just a good Jewish Cookbook. Beautiful layout, wonderful recipes (and yes I've tasted the end results), and very fun stories. A must have for any chef regardless of your religion! So stop reading this review and buy this book, you won't regret it. Go NoW!

excellent resource

This is the first practical, clear and truly inviting Jewish cookbook I've found. I strongly recommend it for anyone who enjoys Jewish cooking and welcomes the encouragement to merge tradition with current tastes.

Wonderful recipes and a great read.

"Jewish Holiday Cooking" proves a good cookbook can be more than just recipes. Aside from clear, delicious sounding instructions on both traditional and unusual dishes, this book is a great read. I especially like the historical details and family anecdotes, which put the food in cultural context. This one will get a lot of use in my kitchen.
