This is the story of Isaac Brown; a slave who was accused of the attempted murder of a plantation owner in Maryland; escaped; and ultimately made his way to freedom in Canada. In the early to mid-nineteenth century; Isaac Brown; a slave; was accused of the attempted murder of a prominent plantation owner; despite there being no evidence of his guilt. Brown; after enduring two brutal floggings; was shipped to a New Orleans slave pen. From there the resourceful Brown was able to make a daring escape to Philadelphia in the free state of Pennsylvania. His biggest error was writing a note informing his free wife and eleven children in Maryland of his whereabouts. The note was intercepted and led to his arrest and attempted extradition back to Maryland.While engaged in researching an ancestor named Isaac Brown; Bryan Prince encountered the very high-profile case of what turned out to be a different Isaac Brown. The story of this slave; with its culmination in Brown’s dramatic escape and ultimate success in crossing the border into Canada; is the riveting subject of historian Bryan Prince’s latest book.

The key to the recipes here show that modern Jewish cooking under Katja Goldman's tutelage can be fresh; on the light side; and absolutely delicious. I am in a good position to judge because I an an eater; a fresser if you will; of the food in the book rather than a cook. And as they say; the proof of the pudding is in the eating.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
