Joan Nathan's Jewish Holiday Cookbook by Joan Nathan

Joan Nathan's Jewish Holiday Cookbook by Joan Nathan

Jewish holidays are defined by food. Yet Jewish cooking is always changing, encompassing the flavors of the world, embracing local culinary traditions of every place in which Jews have lived and adapting them to Jewish observance. This collection, the culmination of Joan Nathan's decades of gathering Jewish recipes from around the world, is a tour through the Jewish holidays as told in food. For each holiday, Nathan presents menus from different cuisines--Moroccan, Russian, German, and contemporary American are just a few--that show how the traditions of Jewish food have taken on new forms around the world. There are dishes that you will remember from your mother's table and dishes that go back to the Second Temple, family recipes that you thought were lost and other families' recipes that you have yet to discover. Explaining their origins and the holidays that have shaped them, Nathan spices these delicious recipes with delightful stories about the people who have kept these traditions alive.

Try something exotic--Algerian Chicken Tagine with Quinces or Seven-Fruit Haroset from Surinam--or rediscover an American favorite like Pineapple Noodle Kugel or Charlestonian Broth with Soup Bunch and Matzah Balls. No matter what you select, this essential book, which combines and updates Nathan's classic cookbooks The Jewish Holiday Baker and The Jewish Holiday Kitchen with a new generation of recipes, will bring the rich variety and heritage of Jewish cooking to your table on the holidays and throughout the year.

Joan Nathan is the author of several cookbooks, including Jewish Food in America and The New American Cooking, which won the James Beard Award and the IACP Award for best cookbook of the year, respectively. Based on the book, she hosted the nationally syndicated PBS television series Jewish Cooking in America with Joan Nathan. Nathan has garnered multiple distinctions, including James Beard's Who's Who of Food and Beverage in America, Les Dames d'Escoffier's Grande Dame Award, and Food Arts magazine's Silver Spoon Award, as well as an honorary doctorate from Chicago's Spertus Institute of Jewish Culture. Nathan, the mother of three grown children, splits her time between Washington, D.C., and Martha's Vineyard, where she resides with her husband, Allan Gerson.
