Review:
When I told my mother I was reading a Jewish cookbook, the first thing she asked me about was the matzo ball soup, and following that conversation we decided to whip up a pot. Yum! I have always loved concocting new recipes, especially those that I consider "comfort foods", and this book is filled with many amazing Jewish home cooked recipes - from breakfast to dessert! I like the format of the book; ingredients and instructions are easy to read and include stories about the meals, as well as color photographs of the finished products. There is a wonderfully genuine feel to this book and all of its recipes, it's like these recipes are being handed down to the reader; ( I wish certain members of my family would have shared their cooking secrets like this family did!). I tried several of the recipes, including the chicken soup with matzo balls, the stuffed mushrooms, and the fruit compote. Every dish came out looking delectable, and they tasted great too! The stuffed mushrooms are my favorite so far! I will definitely be using this cookbook as a kitchen resource in the future, and I recommend it to any cooking enthusiasts interested in authentic Jewish cuisine.

Description:
Add a wonderful cuisine to your everyday meals and special gatherings. Traditional Jewish cooking is flavorful, fun and hearty particularly with Our Mother's Recipes, Carrying on a Jewish Tradition. These recipes have been handed down through many generations influenced by Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, Spanish, German and Eastern European styles of cooking. In our family all of these cultural influences were combined, synthesized and affected by local ingredients through the years resulting in sumptuous, rich and wonderfully fulfilling traditional Jewish dishes. Try our mother's farfel instead of noodles. Replace that tired chocolate cake with some really yummy Helen Feldman brownies or warm fruit compote. You will have the secret to Jewish penicillin, chicken soup with matzo balls. There's enough here to keep you going for years of great food, family, friends and memories to enjoy.
