Jewish holidays are defined by food. Yet Jewish cooking is
always changing, encompassing the flavors of the world,
embracing local culinary traditions of every place in which
Jews have lived and adapting them to Jewish observance. This
collection, the culmination of Joan Nathan’s decades of
gathering Jewish recipes from around the world, is a tour
through the Jewish holidays as told in food. For each
holiday, Nathan presents menus from different
cuisines—Moroccan, Russian, German, and contemporary
American are just a few—that show how the traditions of
Jewish food have taken on new forms around the world. There
are dishes that you will remember from your mother’s table
and dishes that go back to the Second Temple, family recipes
that you thought were lost and other families’ recipes that
you have yet to discover. Explaining their origins and the
holidays that have shaped them, Nathan spices these
delicious recipes with delightful stories about the people
who have kept these traditions alive. Try something exotic—Algerian Chicken Tagine with Quinces or
Seven-Fruit Haroset from Surinam—or rediscover an American
favorite like Pineapple Noodle Kugel or Charlestonian Broth
with “Soup Bunch” and Matzah Balls. No matter what you
select, this essential book, which combines and updates
Nathan’s classic cookbooks The Jewish Holiday Baker and The
Jewish Holiday Kitchen with a new generation of recipes,
will bring the rich variety and heritage of Jewish cooking
to your table on the holidays and throughout the year.
