The Jewish Heritage Cookbook

Rating:
Summary: Incredible
Review: This book has changed the way I think about Jewish cooking. Instead of the heavy, starch-and-fat dishes I know, Spieler's recipes include a lot of vegetarian dishes and mediterranean flavors. The recipes are easy to make, unlike many ethnic cookbooks. I made the tomato and Israeli couscous soup last night and it tasted as good as the picture looked. I got this book as a gift from my mom, and she done good on this one. You won't regret buying this.

Summary: food and history
Review: What a beautiful book both visually and for the taste of the recipes! Marlena provides a context for these recipes by writing a lovely history of the jewish people as it relates to their disbursement throughout the world and their use of the local foodstuffs. Great for jews and gentiles alike!
