From the
Publisher
"In this book we are seeking the best of
both worlds--the remembrance of tastes
past and the thrill of the new. What
matters in this updating of the classics
and the culling of new ideas from
communities around us is that we adapt and
integrate them in the spirit of Jewish
history, making them our own as our
ancestors have always done. In doing so we
continue a tradition that began more than
five thousand years ago." |

--from the Introduction
Two generations of Jewish women, mother and
daughter, have come together to create this
wonderful collection of recipes for cooks young
and old. The mother, Evelyn Rose, offers
traditional Jewish recipes, just the way your
mother and grandmother used to make them. For more
contemporary, bolder, and lighter tastes, her
daughter, Judi, offers updated and all-new dishes.
For example, the chapters on soups, starters, and
salads include a recipe for traditional Chopped
Liver (though it's made with less fat), as well as
Chicken Liver Pate with Pears and a Citrus and Red
Currant Sauce, a totally contemporary hors
d'oeuvre made with a fruit citrus-scented sauce.
Try the beautiful, ruby-colored Traditional Beet
Borscht for that old-world taste, or you might
enjoy the satisfying and sophisticated Cream of
Watercress Soup with a Toasted Walnut Garnish,
which can be served hot or chilled.
For the Kosher home, there are plenty of recipes
for dairy meals, such as a traditional Onion Tarte
from Alsace, or the exquisite and aromatic
Proven?al Sun-dried Tomato, Olive, and Basil Tarte.
Many of the pasta dishes can be adapted to dairy
or meat meals, such as Auntie Mary's Savory
Noodles and Noodles in Sesame Sauce, Hong Kong
Style, both of which can be prepared with chicken
or vegetable stock.
There's a bounty of meat recipes as well, from
universal Eastern European favorites like
Beef-Filled Cabbage Leaves in a Sweet-and-Sour
Sauce to South African Curried Beef Gratin, a
spiced and slightly sweet example of how much fun
you can have with Kosher cooking. Succulent Roast
Chicken with a Lemon and Herb Stuffing is comfort
food at its best, and Chicken and Mushroom Puff is
a delicious way to use up leftover chicken and
gravy, or even leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
If it sounds like there are too many delicious
recipes to choose from, Judi and Evelyn have
included menus for every holiday -- Passover, Rosh
Hashanah, Sukkot, Hanukkah, and more. For each
Jewish holiday, there is a discussion of the
traditions and their cultural significance, such
as why, during Purim, we eat all kinds of baked
and fried sweet things using chickpeas, poppy or
sesame seeds (to represent golden coins), and
triangular pastries (Haman's pockets).
Finish your meal with desserts like Armenian
Apricot Mousse with Pistachios, Auntie Annie's
Cinnamon Balls, or Great Grandma's Feather-Light
Lemon Cookies, and start creating a few traditions
of your own. Cooking is as much about family and
friends as it is about good food, and that's just
the spirit conveyed here.
Whether you've been trying to remember the recipe
for a favorite dish from your childhood or you
want to keep a Kosher kitchen but are looking for
some exciting new flavors, this is the book for
you.
Jewish people of all ages are returning to their
roots and craving the long-lost recipes of
generations past. What Jewish person doesn't
remember his or her grandmother's special recipe
for matzoh ball soup or his or her aunt's recipe
for brisket, and want to share those comforting
recipes with the family? And what Jewish cook
wouldn't want to expand their repertoire with some
fresher, lighter, more contemporary versions of
their favorite family recipes?
Mother and Daughter Jewish Cooking offers recipes
that embrace traditional Jewish cooking as well as
innovations and world cuisines. Evelyn Rose, the
mother, relates classic Jewish recipes, prepared
the old-fashioned way and perfect for holidays and
special occasions or those sentimental moods.
Feeling more adventurous? Evelyn's daughter, Judi,
offers updated classics and all new Jewish-style
recipes that incorporate a wide range of flavors.
Mother and Daughter Jewish Cooking is a book that
can be shared across the generations. It is a
perfect gift for friends and family at holiday
times as well as an everyday cookbook, reached for
night after night. |
