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.

An exciting debut cookbook that confirms the arrival of a new guru chef . . . A moving, deeply personal journey of survival and discovery that tells of the evolution of a cuisine and of the transformative power and magic of food and cooking. From the two-time James Beard Award-winning chef whose celebrated New Orleans restaurants have been hailed as the country's most innovative and best by Bon Appétit, Food & Wine, Saveur, GQ, and Esquire.
.
  *  "Alon's journey is as gripping and as seductive as his cooking . . . Lovely stories, terrific food."
--Yotam Ottolenghi, author of Jerusalem: A Cookbook
  *  "Breathtaking. Bravo." --Joan Nathan, author of King Solomon's Table
Alon Shaya's is no ordinary cookbook. It is a memoir of a culinary sensibility that begins in Israel and wends its way from the U.S.A. (Philadelphia) to Italy (Milan and Bergamo), back to Israel (Jerusalem) and comes together in the American South, in the heart of New Orleans. It's a book that tells of how food saved the author's life and how, through a circuitous path of (cooking) twists and (life-affirming) turns the author's celebrated cuisine--food of his native Israel with a creole New Orleans kick came to be, along with his award-winning New Orleans restaurants: Shaya, Domenica, and Pizza Domenica, ranked by Esquire, Bon Appétit, and others as the best new restaurants in the United States.
    These are stories of place, of people, and of the food that connects them, a memoir of one man's culinary sensibility, with food as the continuum throughout his journey--guiding his personal and professional decisions, punctuating every memory, choice, every turning point in his life. Interspersed with glorious full-color photographs and illustrations that follow the course of all the flavors Shaya has tried, places he's traveled, things he's experienced, lessons he's learned--more than one hundred recipes--from Roasted Chicken with Harissa to Speckled Trout with Tahini and Pine Nuts; Crab Cakes with Preserved Lemon Aioli; Roasted Cast-Iron Ribeye; Marinated Soft Cheese with Herbs and Spices; Buttermilk Biscuits; and Whole Roasted Cauliflower with Whipped Feta. |

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. |

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.

When the Aleppian Jewish community migrated from the ancient city of Aleppo in historic Syria and settled in New York and Latin American cities in the early 20th century, it brought its rich cuisine and vibrant culture. Most Syrian recipes and traditions, however, were not written down and existed only in the minds of older generations. Poopa Dweck, a first generation Syrian–Jewish American, has devoted much of her life to preserving and celebrating her community's centuries–old legacy. Dweck relates the history and culture of her community through its extraordinary cuisine, offering more than 180 exciting ethnic recipes with tantalizing photos and describing the unique customs that the Aleppian Jewish community observes during holidays and lifecycle events. Among the irresistible recipes are:
•Bazargan–Tangy Tamarind Bulgur Salad
•Shurbat Addes–Hearty Red Lentil Soup with Garlic and Coriander
•Kibbeh–Stuffed Syrian Meatballs with Ground Rice
•Samak b'Batata–Baked Middle Eastern Whole Fish with Potatoes
•Sambousak–Buttery Cheese–Filled Sesame Pastries
•Eras bi'Ajweh–Date–Filled Crescents
•Chai Na'na–Refreshing Mint Tea Like mainstream Middle Eastern cuisines, Aleppian Jewish dishes are alive with flavor and healthful ingredients–featuring whole grains, vegetables, legumes, and olive oil–but with their own distinct cultural influences. In Aromas of Aleppo, cooks will discover the best of Poopa Dweck's recipes, which gracefully combine Mediterranean and Levantine influences, and range from small delights (or maza) to daily meals and regal holiday feasts–such as the twelve–course Passover seder. |
