Classic Jewish: Time-honoured Recipes from a Rich Culinary Heritage

Diversity is the essence of Jewish cuisine. Historically the Jewish people have moved around the globe influencing and being influenced by a myriad of different culinary traditions, resulting in a synthesis of hearty stews and pies from eastern Europe with Mediterranean-influenced dishes rich in fruit, vegetables and olive oil. Classic Jewish focuses on the tastiest recipes in this long and proud tradition, offering such tempting fare as Chicken Soup with Lockshen, Beef Cholent, Tabbouleh, Coconut Pyramids and Challah. Special dishes eaten for festivals or religious celebrations are included, plus a useful introduction to the rites, rituals, customs and history associated with Jewish cooking. Lavish colour photographs of 40 recipes, plus step-by-step pictures illustrating all the techniques needed, make this book the perfect introduction to Jewish cooking.
