Blending the recipes with over 160 stories from the Rabinowitz family—by the end of the book you'll have gotten to know the whole wacky clan—and illustrated throughout with more than 500 photographs reaching back to the 19th century, Cooking Jewish invites the reader not just into the kitchen, but into a vibrant world of family and friends.

(Or as the author says, "When you write your cookbook, you can say your mother's is the best.") Every recipe, a joy in the belly.
