Beni's Family Cookbook: What better way to celebrate
the holidays than to cook-- and eat-- the delicious foods so important to
Jewish tradition. Here's a sumptuous collection of recipes for every Jewish
holiday through the year. Jane Breskin Zalben has gathered treasured
mouth-watering recipes from her family and friends. Such favorites as matzoh
ball soup, noodle kugel, and gefilte fish are here, as well as kasha varnishkas,
hamantaschen, and macaroons. Each section of the cookbook features a different
holiday and includes notes on its religious and cultural importance. There
are also amusing introductory notes for every recipe. Ms. Zalben's festive,
detailed pastel watercolor illustrations for her beloved bears grace the
pages, making this a feast for the eyes as well as the tummy. Full of homespun
charm and warmth, Beni's Family Cookbook is the next best thing to
Bubbe's recipe box-- the perfect holiday gift for the whole family.
