Arthur Schwartz's Jewish Home Cooking: Yiddish Recipes Revisited

Editorial Review:

Arthur Schwartz knows how Jewish food warms the heart and delights the soul, whether it's talking about it, shopping for it, cooking it, or, above all, eating it. JEWISH HOME COOKING presents authentic yet contemporary versions of traditional Ashkenazi foods--rugulach, matzoh brei, challah, brisket, and even challenging classics like kreplach (dumplings) and gefilte fish--that are approachable to make and revelatory to eat. Chapters on appetizers, soups, dairy (meatless) and meat entrees, Passover meals, breads, and desserts are filled with lore about individual dishes and the people who nurtured them in America. Light-filled food and location photographs of delis, butcher shops, and specialty grocery stores paint a vibrant picture of America's touchstone Jewish food culture.

Read like a novel:

I am sending this book as a gift to my friends. Most of the recipes I know from my heritage, but it wasn't the recipes that made me enjoy this book it was his introductions to each. A must buy for the generation whose parents were born here!

Arthur Schwartz "Jewish Home Cooking":

Excellent book. I made the brisket in the book and it was wonderful. I also made the Apple Cake and it was the best. I would consider giving this book to brides.

A wonderful book!:

Arthur takes us on a trip down memory lane-- the food of our bubbies, brought with them from the "Old
Country," some adapted to, or created for Jewish life of the new country. Arthur has updated the recipes, so that they can be enjoyed without guilt. Potato pancakes, noodle kugel, Roumanian carnzelach (meat "sausages")
--and more.
His delightful commentary--he is a very knowledgeable guy--makes the book a great read, and his careful testing of every recipe makes him one of the most... more info

Arthur Schwartz Jewish Home Cooking Recycling his older work:

Recently I read Arthur Schwartz's New York City Food, and immediatelt thereafter his 'NEW' Jewish Home cooking. I loved the first and was left feeling cheated by the second. Jewish home cooking is loaded with material Arthur simply lifted from his earlier book. Yes, he owns the copyright to the earlier book, but I resent having paid good money to be seved leftovers I'd seen before.
