A Wonderful Addition to your Kitchen June 6, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have given this book a prominent position on its bookshelf, along with some other well used cookbooks. This book is an impressive looking volume, an inch thick, and lovingly designed.
The first 26 pages describe the author's life growing up in the Italian Jewish community before WWII--a culture that hardly exists anymore.
As for the cuisine, it follows the mediterranean pattern, with, here and there, a strong suggestion of the middle east. Thus, anyone who enjoys mediterranean/ middle-eastern cuisine, will appreciate this book
An added bonus, is a chapter on "Breads, Pizzas and Bagels". In this chapter, you will find 23 recipes, inclouding Sourdough Bread, and three recipes for Chollah--that's the rich egg bread that jewish people eat on the sabbath.
The author of this review is not jewish, but what of that? Good food is good food, and the food described here would be hard to improve upon.
