Cucina Ebraica: Flavors of the Italian Jewish Kitchen

by Joyce Goldstein, Ellen Silverman (Photographer)

Now available in paperback, Joyce Goldstein's beloved cookbook offers a fascinating perspective on the Italian food we all know and love. Tracing the long-forgotten Jewish influences and focusing new light on the intertwining of two time-honored cooking traditions, the recipes in Cucina Ebraica are familiar and yet entirely fresh, a robust and delicious taste of Italys regional cuisine. From the enticingly crunchy fried vegetables of fritto misto to the savory meat-filled buricche pastries to tonno fresco con piselli (Fresh Tuna with Peas), each dish is an invitation to the unexpected delights in both Italian and Jewish cuisine.

Easily in the Top 5 BEST cookbooks I have ever owned. Want a perfect béchamel sauce, every single time? How about a quick weeknight dinner that's better than going out? Ever heard of walnut salsa? You didn't know it existed, but now you'll smother it on anything.

Cooking through this book was interesting (a bit of history on every page), delicious (seriously, every recipe is mouthwatering), and like a Cooking Class Intensive all packaged in a delightfully photographed, easy-to-follow format. Get ye to your bookmonger and purchase this. You will not regret it.

Quick verdict: Cucina Ebraica: Flavors of the Italian Jewish Kitchen is a fun, speedy mystery that tricks you into thinking it's deeper than it is. What worked: a sharp small-town setting and a detective who's tired in all the right ways. What didn't: the culprit is obvious about halfway through. Recommend for cozy-mystery fans who like a little grit, skip for readers who want to be fooled.

This is one of my favourite cookbooks, and kosher to boot. Full of delicious recipes, menus and mouthwatering photographs. Not to mention, the recipes are very delicious and very good, and easy enough for anyone to try.

Not quite what I expected. I liked it though. Just not as much as her other books.
