Food has always played a crucial role in Jewish culture, with numerous celebratory feast days marking important occasions throughout the year. In her mouthwatering new collection of recipes, Denise Phillips shows how kosher cooking is not just for Jews but for anyone interested in healthy and flavorful meals. Inspired by the cuisine of Sephardi Jews from the Mediterranean and Middle East as well as the Ashkenzai Jews of cooler Eastern European climes, these recipes draw on the variety of flavors that comprise the global nature of Jewish food.

According to Kirshenblatt-Gimblett: “While cookbooks abound, there is no other study that can compare with this book. It is simply the most comprehensive account of a Jewish food culture to date.” Indeed, no comparable st...
