Jewish Cooking Jewish Cooks by Ramona Koval
Published by New Holland 144 pages $34.95 pb

Jewish Cooking Jewish Cooks is a collection of delicious, well loved, tried and true Jewish recipes from around the world particularly Europe. It is also a collection of stories - all of which revolve, like much of Jewish life and tradition, around the subject of food.

From the most simple to the most celebratory of Jewish dishes, Ramona Koval presents a thriving, contemporary food culture founded on ancient tradition and laws that stretches beyond centuries and continents. Recipes range from latkes to lox, borscht, blintzes, and kugel to cabbage rolls, and compote as well as many vegetarian dishes.

Rich with anecdotes about what makes Jewish food important to Jewish people. Superb images throughout capture the warmth and atmosphere of Jewish kitchens. Brimming with tales, memories, and tastes that defy the economy of traditional Jewish cooking, Jewish Cooking Jewish Cooks captures the very essence of Jewish food.

Ramona Koval presents Books and Writing on Radio National on the ABC and is a columnist for The Australian.
