Everyday Cooking for the Jewish Home More Than 350 Delectable Recipes

Description:

Growing up in the only Jewish family living on the Shetland Islands, north of Scotland, Ethel G. Hofman learned from her mother how to incorporate local ingredients into Jewish cooking. That ingenuity laid the groundwork for Hofman's creative recipes. While their neighbors had fried herring or scones, the Hofmans ate homemade gefilte fish, mandelbrot, and strudel. In that remote locale, Hofman learned firsthand that classic Jewish cooking is essentially a riff on local cuisine, working with available ingredients to keep within the laws of kashruth. Designed not only as a reference book but also as the source for quick and simple weeknight suppers, Everyday Cooking for the Jewish Home is for cooks of all levels. With a nod to the busy modern household, Hofman doesn't hesitate to suggest convenience ingredients whenever possible. The dramatic increase in the availability of certified kosher products promises a wider range of ingredients for the cook, and Hofman's imaginative dishes ensure that your table will never lack for flavor. From salads, soups, and grains to pastries, kugels, and desserts, and including advice on how to stock a Jewish pantry, a special chapter on international Passover dishes, and a glossary of Jewish foods, holidays, and terms, Everyday Cooking for the Jewish Home is a fascinating, accessible, and comprehensive guide to bringing Jewish food into your home and to your family - not just on the holidays but every day.
