There could be no more festive way to introduce Jewish
children to their Jewish heritage than through the food associated
with the holidays. And no better person to do it than Joan Nathan,
whose great enthusiasm and knowledge have gained her a national
reputation as the maven of the Jewish kitchen.
Here are seventy child-centered recipes and cooking activities
from around the world in which the entire family can participate.
Covering the ten major holidays, each of the activities has a
different focus--such as Eastern Europe, Biblical Israel,
contemporary America--and together they present a vast array of
foods, flavors, and ideas. The recipes are old and new, traditional
and novel--everything from hamantashen to pretzel bagels, chicken
soup with matzah balls to matzah pizza, cheese blintzes to
vegetarian chopped liver, hallah to halvah, fruit kugel to Persian
pomegranate punch.
First published in paperback in l988, The Children''s Jewish
Holiday Kitchen has now been redesigned and contains 20 additional
delicious recipes and 30 delightful new drawings.
