Cooking Jewish

Got kugel? Got Kugel with Toffee Walnuts? How about real, homemade Gefilte Fish—and Salmon en Papillote. Refreshing sweet-and-sour borscht, and Not-Your-Store-Bought Potato Blintzes. Cooking Jewish gathers recipes from five generations of a food-obsessed family into a celebratory saga of cousins and kasha, Passover feasts and crossover dishes, Aunt Irene’s traditional matzoh balls and Judy’s contemporary version with shiitake mushrooms. And don’t even talk about the desserts. With its lively stories and eccentric characters, Cooking Jewish invites the reader not just into the kitchen, but into a whole vibrant world of family and friends.
