Product Description:
Arthur Schwartz knows how Jewish food warms the heart and delights the soul, whether it's talking about it, shopping for it, cooking it, or, above all, eating it. 'Jewish Home Cooking' presents authentic yet contemporary versions of traditional Ashkenazi foods - rugulach, matzoh brei, challah, brisket, and even challenging classics like kreplach (dumplings) and gefilte fish-that are approachable to make and revelatory to eat. Chapters on appetizers, soups, dairy (meatless) and meat entrees, Passover meals, breads, and desserts are filled with lore about individual dishes and the people who nurtured them in America. Luminous food and location photographs in delis, butcher shops, and specialty grocery stores paint a vibrant picture of America's touchstone Jewish food culture.

Rating:  - The Jewish classics and then some
Great recipes for all the famous Jewish classics and many of the not so famous ones.
The paprika chicken recipe is great as is the kuggel one (although I prefer mine richer). I made the caramelized cabbage with noodles, a dish I'd never heard of but now consider a great addition to my family's side dishes. The chicken soup recipe was also good.
There were also great illustrations of Jewish food and Jewish cooks to illustrate and lend the book a festive air. I haven't tried any ... Read More
Rating:  - Ehh . . . whatever
This is an okay cookbook. I bought this based on the rave reviews it received from Amazon customers as well as journals. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. None of the foods tasted as good as promised and were ultimately very bland. In fact several of the recipes, including the one for the babka, turned out a disaster. You could find a much better cookbook then this . . .

My husband and I love this cookbook. It brings back a lot of memorys for my husband and we have tried many of the recipes. They are all good.
The stories are so similar to our own lives. It really is a joy to read.
Rating:  - Read like a novel
I am sending this book as a gift to my friends. Most of the recipes I know from my heritage, but it wasn't the recipes that made me enjoy this book it was his introductions to each. A must buy for the generation whose parents were born here!

Excellent book. I made the brisket in the book and it was wonderful. I also made the Apple Cake and it was the best. I would consider giving this book to brides.
