 Jewish Holiday Feasts

by Louise Fiszer

Review by Jennifer A. Wickes
Other articles by Jennife A. Wickes

An adorable cookbook filled with sweet and savory dishes to celebrate all Jewish Holiday Feasts: Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Succoth, Hanukkah, Purim, Pesach, Shavuoth, as well as Foods for the Sabbats.

Both Louise Feszer and Jeannette Ferrary are food writers and the co-authors of six books. On of their creations, Sweet Onions and Sour Cherries, was nominated for the Julia Child Cookbook Award by the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Both reside in the San Francisco Bay Area.

With a few colorful illustrations, Feszer and Ferrary take us on a Jewish culinary adventure with tasty traditional recipes like Golden Challah Bread, Walnut and Dried Cherry Rugelach, and Classic Potato Latkes, as well as some lesser-known dishes, like Spiced Pear and Almond Cake, Passover Biscotti and Coucous With Saffron and Vegetables. These recipes take us on a culinary journey in celebration of Jewish cuisine.

A wonderful book to celebrate the Jewish holidays with your family and friends!
