“Fascinating explanations of traditions, historical developments and ingredients that make the book a good read as well as a good cookbook.” —Publishers Weekly The Jewish holidays mark a time for Jews around the world to reconnect with their spiritual lives, celebrate their history, and enjoy tasty foods laden with symbolic meaning. With Phyllis and Miriyam Glazer’s The Essential Book of Jewish Festival Cooking as your guide, you will gain a rich understanding of the Jewish calendar year and its profound link to the produce of the earth in each season. This landmark volume addresses a central question: Why do we eat what we eat on these important days? Organized by season, the chapters cover the major holidays and feast days of the Jewish year, providing more than two hundred recipes, plus menus and tips for holiday entertaining. Essays opening each chapter illuminate the origins, traditions, and seasonal and biblical significance of each holiday and its foods, making the book a valuable resource for Jewish festival observance. For Passover, prepare such springtime delights as Roasted Salmon with Marinated Fennel and Thyme, alongside Braised “Bitter Herbs” with Pistachios. On Shavuot, try fresh homemade cheeses; creamy, comforting Blintzes; or luscious Hot and Bubbling Semolina and Sage Gnocchi. At Purim, create a Persian feast and learn new ideas for mishloah manot, the traditional gifts of food. The Essential Book of Jewish Festival Cooking offers accessible and flavorful recipes with a tangible connection to the rhythms of the Jewish year. The Glazer sisters will deepen your understanding of time-honored traditions as they guide you toward meaningful and delicious holiday experiences. “Filled with succulent recipes . . . [and] easy to follow.” —Booklist
