Jewish food is a combination of richly varied cuisines from all over the globe, reflecting the multi-ethnicity of the Jewish people and the many places where they have settled. Featuring Middle Eastern appetizers, New York bagel brunches and tempting Russian desserts, this book will inspire the reader with both traditional and modern recipes. With an introduction chronicling the dispersal of different Jewish communities and the effect this has had on their styles of cooking, this is not just a recipe book, but a fascinating read.

It is also highly practical, unravelling the laws of Kashrut and providing an indispensable guide to preparing kosher food for the Jewish table.
