Not only filled with delicious recipes displaying the amazing breadth of Jewish cooking in America (representing cultures from around the world, as well as American regional variations), it's also a fascinating read, filled with anecdotes and historical documents illustrating how the recipes have been adapted by circumstance and taste. I turn to this book first when preparing holiday dishes, looking for new twists on familiar dishes.

I read this book as often as possible. What a a delightful combination of food, culture, history, and family tales of happiness and woe. Check out the section on orthodox boarding houses in atlantic city! So awesome! And try the rugelach, bubbalech.

Skimmed through this book the other night. This seems like an excellent reference book. I am looking forward to reading the introduction(s). I don't think I will have time right now to make anything from the book.
