A generous, warm-hearted and inspiring cookbook drawn from Sydney's culturally diverse Jewish community, featuring the very best, most treasured family recipes that have been passed down generations.
'Having this book at home is pure cosy joy.' Nigella Lawson
In 2006, a group of Jewish women began meeting every Monday morning. they cooked, ate, drank endless cups of tea and - often heatedly - discussed the merits of different recipes. After just a few weekly meetings, the Monday Morning Cooking Club was born. Five years and hundreds of dishes later, six members of the sisterhood handpicked their favourite recipes to go into their book - the result is a generous, rich and inspiring cookbook featuring the best, most treasured recipes from a culturally diverse community. Each recipe begins with a short story of the cook and their history of the dish, and these stories, interwoven with amazing recipes, take the reader on a heartwarming and delicious journey through a community who finds a deep connection through food and the memory of generations that have gone before.

Enjoying this cookbook written by a group of friends who get together one morning a week to discuss recipes and cook. The first recipes I've marked are:
Shaved Fennel and mint salad ......................Pg 43
Chocolate Orange Cake (gluten free) ...........Pg 59
Flour less apple, almond and ginger cake.....Pg 222
Pletzlach (an apricot/almond candy)..............Pg 291
I'm sure there will be others but these are the first four I'll be trying but I'm sure there will be more.

Wonderful book that is so much more than a cookbook with stories of immigration to Australia especially as a result of persecution in nazi Germany. Also awesome recipes.

I enjoyed reading of the rich Jewish heritage we have in this country and the place food has in its culture, history and life.
