Delicious recipes; plenty for my vegetarian lifestyle. The stories and Jewish history make the recipes so much more interesting than if they had been just a series of recipes. I especially love that the recipes are not rigid. I play with them and most always have very good results. Roden's warmth shines through this lovely book.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Way beyond averageBy Sherab KAn extraordinary book; much more than a cookbook. It presents a world of Jewish history but in such a way that it is relevant to the food; the recipes being provided. You get the atmosphere of the kitchens in which the recipes might typically have been made and what social framework they were part of. The volume is divided into Ashkenazi and Sephardic sections; so it really gives the reader a world of Jewish life and cookery. The recipes themselves are very practical and workable for a modern kitchen. The ones I've tried have worked brilliantly. With its great diversity of content and the sheer number of recipes; it is an unusually rich offering; and it turns out; a very competent one.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. too good to hold onto!By momdlaI bought this book for myself; but someone very close to me came over the day it arrived and wanted it so badly (and begged); so I couldn't say "no!" Now I must buy it again... and hide it when friends come over!
