How to Cook dishes from Jewish tradition
Jews have lived in many countries, including the Middle East, the Americas,
Europe
and elsewhere. Wherever Jews have lived, they have always eaten local
foods, selecting ingredients and creating dishes to comply with the
requirements of "halakha" (the body
of interpretation of Jewish religious law) - "kosher" means
foods (and food preparation practises) that are in keeping with Jewish
dietary laws.
Perhaps best-known in North America are those Jewish dishes which
originated in, and were influenced by,
eastern European cuisine, but every Jewish community - Ashkenazic,
Sephardic, Yemenite, Italian and others - has met the requirements of
Judaism in its own way and with its own cuisine.
Some popular Jewish recipes and dishes include:
- Baba ghanoush - Mashed eggplant with various seasonings.
In Israel,
it is made from mashed grilled eggplant with tahini or
mayonnaise.
- Blintz - Thin pancakes stuffed with a cheese filling, and then fried
in oil. They are eaten on Jewish holidays such as
Hanukkah and Shavuot.
- Borscht - Vegetable soup made from beetroot.
- Chicken soup.
- Falafel - A fried ball made from chickpeas or fava beans.
- Gefilte fish - Poached fish patties, usually made from carp.
- Israeli salad - Finely diced tomatoes and cucumbers, dressed with
olive oil and lemon juice.
- Kibbeh - A shell made from bulgar wheat, stuffed with ground lamb and fried.
- Kugel - A baked dish made from egg noodles or potatoes and eggs.
- Knish - Baked or fried dough stuffed with
cheese,
ground meat,
mashed potato,
onions,
or sauerkraut.
- Kreplach - Small stuffed dumplings.
They are typically stuffed with ground meat or mashed potato,
cooked by boiling, and served with chicken soup.
- Jachnun - A traditional dish of Yemenite Jews. It is rolled dough baked on a low
heat for many hours, which is eaten with hard-boiled eggs, tomato dip, and skhug (a hot sauce
made from peppers and spices).
- Latkes - Potato pancakes.
- Lox - A cured
salmon fillet.
- Matzah ball - Balls made from ground matzah (a Jewish flatbread),
and chicken fat (schmaltz). The balls are often eaten in chicken broth as
matzah ball soup.
- Pastrami - Raw beef, salted, dried and seasoned with various herbs and spices.
- Shlishkes - Dumplings made from mashed potato, egg, flour and water. The dumplings
are cooked by boiling and then rolled in sugar and hot buttered caramelized breadcrumbs.
- Tzimmes - Diced carrots with dried fruits (prunes or raisins) and chunks of meat.
The dish is cooked slowly and flavored with cinnamon and honey.
- Vareniki - Dumplings stuffed with cabbage, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, mashed potatoes,
meat or sauerkraut.
- Vorschmack - A salty meat dish made from ground meat,
anchovies or
herring, and onions.
It is usually garnished with salty pickles.

This cookbook features recipes for German-Jewish cuisine as it existed in Germany prior to World War II, and as refugees later adapted it in the United States and elsewhere. Because these dishes differ from more familiar Jewish food, they will be a discovery for many people. With a focus on fresh, seasonal ingredients, this indispensable collection of recipes includes numerous soups, both chilled and hot; vegetable dishes; meats, poultry, and fish; fruit desserts; cakes; and the German version of challah, Berches. These elegant and mostly easy-to-make recipes range from light summery fare to hearty winter foods. The Gropmans―a mother-daughter author pair―have honored the original recipes Gabrielle learned after arriving as a baby in Washington Heights from Germany in 1939, while updating their format to reflect contemporary standards of recipe writing. Six recipe chapters offer easy-to-follow instructions for weekday meals, Shabbos and holiday meals, sausage and cold cuts, vegetables, coffee and cake, and core recipes basic to the preparation of German-Jewish cuisine. Some of these recipes come from friends and family of the authors; others have been culled from interviews conducted by the authors, prewar German-Jewish cookbooks, nineteenth-century American cookbooks, community cookbooks, memoirs, or historical and archival material. The introduction explains the basics of Jewish diet (kosher law). The historical chapter that follows sets the stage by describing Jewish social customs in Germany and then offering a look at life in the vibrant émigré community of Washington Heights in New York City in the 1940s and 1950s. Vividly illustrated with more than fifty drawings by Megan Piontkowski and photographs by Sonya Gropman that show the cooking process as well as the delicious finished dishes, this cookbook will appeal to readers curious about ethnic cooking and how it has evolved, and to anyone interested in exploring delicious new recipes. |

With contributions from Ruth Reichl, Éric Ripert, Joan Nathan, Michael Solomonov, Dan Barber, Yotam Ottolenghi, Tom Colicchio, Maira Kalman, Melissa Clark, and many more!
Tablet’s list of the 100 most Jewish foods is not about the most popular Jewish foods, or the tastiest, or even the most enduring. It’s a list of the most significant foods culturally and historically to the Jewish people, explored deeply with essays, recipes, stories, and context. Some of the dishes are no longer cooked at home, and some are not even dishes in the traditional sense (store-bought cereal and Stella D’oro cookies, for example). The entire list is up for debate, which is what makes this book so much fun. Many of the foods are delicious (such as babka and shakshuka). Others make us wonder how they’ve survived as long as they have (such as unhatched chicken eggs and jellied calves’ feet). As expected, many Jewish (and now universal) favorites like matzo balls, pickles, cheesecake, blintzes, and chopped liver make the list. The recipes are global and represent all contingencies of the Jewish experience. Contributors include Ruth Reichl, Éric Ripert, Joan Nathan, Michael Solomonov, Dan Barber, Gail Simmons, Yotam Ottolenghi, Tom Colicchio, Amanda Hesser and Merrill Stubbs, Maira Kalman, Action Bronson, Daphne Merkin, Shalom Auslander, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, and Phil Rosenthal, among many others. Presented in a gifty package, The 100 Most Jewish Foods is the perfect book to dip into, quote from, cook from, and launch a spirited debate. |

Product Description:
For over 5,000 years, Jewish families have lived in Italy. The cuisine that developed in their households is a remarkable melange of kosher traditions and the distinctive flavors of Italy, the Middle East, and Spain. For the first time, this wonderfully rich, little-known culinary heritage is given the attention it has long deserved. With Cucina Ebraica, celebrated chef Joyce Goldstein offers a substantive collection of superb (and completely kosher) Italian Jewish dishes, as well as a compelling and important culinary history. Exploring the ancient intertwining of two venerable food traditions, we discover that many Italian dishes have Jewish roots. Familiar and yet entirely new, this is a robust and delicious new side of a beloved region's cuisine. Filled with painterly photographs that evoke the richness of the Italian Jewish heritage, Cucina Ebraica is a mouthwatering collection of distinguished recipes, a reference on an extraordinary tradition, and an invitation to unexpected joys and secrets about both Italian and Jewish cookery. |

This highly praised book has itself already become a classic cookbook, and is also a fine source of information concerning the day-to-day life of the vanished Jewish communities of Italy. The recipes, all of which are kosher, are clearly written, most with a commentary of the history of the dish and how best to serve it. Author draws the cooking from her homeland in Pittigliano, Tuscany and the recipes of her Italian-Jewish culture, including holidays and dietary laws. |

Product Description:
In this James Beard Award-winning cookbook, George Greenstein reveals 125 recipes for the yeasted and quick breads that have been handed down through his family by three generations of bakers—the breads that made his bakery so well-loved for so many years.
For more than twenty years, Greenstein owned and operated a Long Island bakery that produced a wide variety of baked goods, from many different ethnic traditions—focaccia and Irish soda bread, Bavarian pumpernickel and naan—including many from his own culture, such as Jewish corn bread, challah, and bagels. Now that most neighborhood bakeries like Greenstein's are long since closed, this classic collection not only teaches bakers everywhere how to make those delicious, classic breads, but it also preserves authentic versions of the recipes for all to enjoy.
With the same helpful features that made this a cherished cookbook upon its original publication—separate instructions for mixing each recipe by hand, food processor, and stand mixer; tips for baking a week's worth of bread in as few as two hours; invaluable baker's secrets; and a very approachable style throughout—this revised edition also includes twelve new recipes to satisfy both old fans and new.
So bring the spirit of that great old bakery back to life right in your very own kitchen, filling every room of your house with the wonderful aroma of freshly baked bread. And rest assured you'll bake with ease and success every time, thanks to George and his long-learned, very happily shared SECRETS OF A JEWISH BAKER.
