The world of Jewish cooking - Gil Marks

Where other Jewish cookbooks focus on one particular community of Jewish festival fare, The World of Jewish Cooking brings a truly international focus to authentic kosher cuisine. Looking at two dozen Jewish communities, Gil Marks brings us special festival recipes as well as everyday food: readers may attempt the exotic, such as Alaskan pear-and-prune kugel, along with the basics, such as Eastern European sweet-and-sour balls. In addition to his mouth-watering recipes, Gil Marks takes a fascinating look at the history and social significance of Jewish food throughout the ages. This book will be the cornerstone of every kitchen, whether Jewish or gentile.
