Summary: The Art of Jewish Cooking
Review: How happy I am to see "The Art of Jewish Cooking" still available to buy, although used, as my aged copy is well overdue for a replacement. The faded brown pages, now coverless and missing an index, still sport a spine, which notes the quaint price of 60¢. The dishes taste the same as those that my respective Romanian and Ukrainian grandmothers carried across the ocean in the early 1900s. I feel as if my grandmothers are in the kitchen with me as Jennie Grossinger has compiled their easy-to-follow delicious recipes augmented by typical menus and informative descriptions of the Jewish holidays. This modest book competes favorably with its glossy, richly photographed, modern cousins for it preserves the nostalgic flavors that are the essence of the European Jewish cuisine.

Summary: Authentic Jewish Cooking
Review: 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.

Summary: This is the epitome of Jewish Cooking
Review: 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.
