The Greatest Cookbook Ever Written

I received my first copy of this wonderful cookbook over 50 years ago. I have since bought more than 20 copies as gifts and replacements. There is not a bad recipe and all are easy to follow. Well written, well thought out, I highly recommend this book.

A Classic

I have searched for years now to find a good meat knish recipe. The web yielded no good results and the other books on Jewish foods fell short. This little book delivers! I was first impressed with the mini index on the back of the book and immediately went to the section on Knishes, Piroshki and Blintzes and found what I was looking for. Other gems are the sections on Appetizers and Party Snacks (chickpea hot dogs, traditional chopped liver), Pickles (delicious Pumpkin pickles) and the very basic but classic home made noodle recipe. Definately a must have book packed with both vegan and traditional recipes.

The Art of Jewish Cooking

The Art of Jewish Cooking (Grossinger) has been and will always be a favorite of mine! VERY easy instructions and VERY VERY Jewish - lol. The only thing that you may want to substitute in the recipes -- the 'fat' type products (chicken fat (!) shortening) that can be easily replaced using any type of oil/healthy-type spread(s). I've used and loved the recipes and adore this book! 10 Stars ! ! ! The Art of Jewish Cooking

Authentic Jewish Cooking

I have been using this cookbook for close to 30 years, and have worn out several paperback editions, so I finally got a hardcover!!!!!!!!!!I use this cook book the most of all my Jewish cookbooks because it's just like my grandmother's and my mother's cooking. The recipes are easy and very traditional, and can be adapted to low fat methods. I recommend this cookbook very highly, and I think it should be reprinted and made more widely available.

This is the epitome of Jewish Cooking

When I was away at college, I continually called my grandmother about recipes. One day, a large envelope came from her and this book dropped out.I have many Jewish cookbooks and all are pretty good but I always go back to this book for food like my great-grandmother and my grandma made. Jennie Grossinger was the brains behind the kitchen at Grossinger's in The Catskill Mountains of New York.The recipes are well-written, easy to understand and delicious everyone.
